And it does not disappoint. From the first spin, the album as a whole, and the individual songwriting, pull you into a space that is both new and refreshingly familiar. That Haunter have found a perfect home on Disintegration Records comes as no surprise, as when I\u2019m listening to this album, I keep getting flashes of old Winnipeg tapes, 7\u201d EPs, and short run CDs of the 1990s; a taste of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RjAPoYUCbWo\" target=\"_blank\">the Bonaduces<\/a> here, a flash of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GamFxQ3sYtk\" target=\"_blank\">Painted Thin <\/a>there. Maybe just the tiniest hint of <a href=\"http:\/\/raisedoncanadianradio.blogspot.ca\/2010\/11\/artist-red-fisher-album-war-wagon-song.html\" target=\"_blank\">Red Fisher <\/a>somewhere in between? Despite these subtle references, <em>Rivers &amp; Rust<\/em> really does stand on its own. From opening track \u201cJuly, 2005\u201d to \u201cWhere I\u2019m Calling From,\u201d a serene duet with Keri Latimer, and through to the closing \u201cAnthem For A Broken City,\u201d this album is well written, beautifully put together, and one that is sure to show up on Top 10 lists for 2013.
