‘Coming Up For Air’ is the new release from When Rivers Meet. As is their signature sound, this track finds its place somewhere between the twangy grit of blues rock, the expansive yet intimate textures of folk, and the storytelling of Americana. It is defined by its endearing soundscape and subtly shifting layers of piano. They explain that this cut is “about living behind a mask which hides parts of yourself, not just from others, but from your own reflection. Over time, that hiding breeds self-doubt and strips away your confidence until it becomes crippling and freezing. I learned how to show only what felt safe, while everything real stayed buried.” ‘Coming Up For Air’ is taken from When Rivers Meet’s newest album, Addicted To You. The band are planning a new album and will be revealing 2026 tour dates soon. -Dan Peeke
