Calming River
Alternative, melodic, intimate and beautiful—just some of the words used to describe the music of Calming River, the pseudonym of British born songwriter, Joshua Malcolm.
The name may conjure tranquillity but there has always been a latent, opposing flow of tension and strife to be found—a fragility that emanates within delicate confine.
Discography:
2017 single 'For The Echoes To See'.
2015 EP 'The Ones That We Left Behind'.
2014 EP 'Afflict and Redeem'.

I’m playing a few gigs in the south east this month, including this cracker in Windsor at @loadingbaycafewindsor. #livefolk #altfolk #windsormusic #folkmusic
Seventeen years since Layne passed. This track featuring Mark Lanegan is one of my favourites. What a duet.

Some nice words from bloggers Comeherefloyd on the new material:
A stroll down your memory sidewalk; a hand in hand walk by the river of dreams. ‘Portrait Of A Shadow’ is a folk single, beautiful in every way – bewitching in angles of residence and of heart. CALMING RIVER produces resounding trip to a format, into our minds, where we miss a glint of what it used to be. Reflecting in a somber excitement for the future, with one foot in the past and never letting go. Afraid and bound, we keep our anxieties at our sleeves. But we must escape and break away the bondage so that we can flourish – at least have the chance to do so. Classical guitar strums, framed with ambience of the living, cast a swath of doom, only salvaged with the glint of hope within the melancholic lyrics.
