Red River Ex’s - This Ain’t Love (2023) Hi-Res

This one’s been lying dormant in my listening pile for far too long, time to wake it! Meet Red River Ex’s, featuring Karen Thompson, Jan Quackenbus, Brian Hildebrand – with Marc LeNeveu pitching in on drums on one of the songs. The group recorded their new album This Ain’t Love all over the globe, from Berlin to Winnipeg. Daniel Pangman describes it aptly as: “The ghost of Nancy Sinatra walks into a record store and asks for the new Deborah Harry and Lee Hazlewood LP.” Red River Ex’s This Ain’t Love is THAT LP. In short. Red River Ex’s play countrified and rough-around-the-edges garage pop/rock that ticks a lot of the right boxes.
