I Live With Models feat Kirris Riviere

A Confession

Keep On

Following the release of two singles, July 21st and September 15th, 2023, Kirris Riviere and The Delta du Bruit released their self-titled debut album last year on November 10th, along with a 3rd single on that date.

Emerging from the depths of Easton in Bristol, UK, a family of musical mavericks has risen. Within the walls of Dusk Art Studios, amidst the chaos and creative fervor of post pandemic Britain, they have carved a vinyl record with true authenticity.

Rejecting the clinical confines of modern software-based production, in a mission to capture a genuine take, over months of rehearsals and relentless studio sessions, they worked collaboratively to give breath to their creative pursues.

The live tracking was then followed as layer upon layer, they weaved a rich tapestry of sound, seamlessly blending the impassioned vocals of Kirris Riviere, backing harmonies, spooky and innovative percussion and the intoxicating stylings of a myriad of guest musicians.
It is through this process that the ensemble underwent a transformative rebirth, adopting an ironically Francophile name that pays homage to their lead vocalist’s heritage and offers tribute to the cradle of the blues: New Orleans.

Fueled by a hunger for authenticity, they drew inspiration from parallel sources. The Severn Delta and the enigmatic Bristol hum are at the core of the name’s meaning. In association with the lyrical French phrase “Ca fait du bruit”, they tread a sonic balance between cacophony and uproar.

Their sound, a potent elixir of groove and rawness, defies easy categorization. They traverse the vast landscape of blues, atmospherically fusing country blues, soul, funk, boogie, gospel, and jump blues. Eight original compositions, birthed from the creative fervor of Evan Newman and co., and the soul-stirring voice of Kirris Riviere, bear witness to their artistic ambitions. But they also pay homage to the legends that paved the way, breathing new life into timeless classics from the likes of Muddy Waters, Percy Mayfield, Willie Dixon, and Billy Ward.

Yet, they promise more. Seeking out their most esteemed friends in the UK blues circuit to join the fray; Enter Jon Amor, the searing guitar virtuoso from The Hoax. And Joe Wilkins, the brooding lead guitar maestro from the Elles Bailey band. Andrew Neil Hayes of Run Logan Run graces their tracks with adept contextual poise on saxophone, while Henry Slim of the Slimline Shufflers weaves a tonal spell with his unique and soulful approach to blues harp.

This is a blues album, born from their ambitious and authentic musical aspirations, but is more than a set of songs. It’s a testament to the unbreakable juju of the blues, born from a world in turmoil. The Delta du bruit is about to take you on an atmospheric ride that’ll echo in your bones long after the last note fades.
