             Making a welcome return to Madloch's Sound Avenue imprint, 
             about:river unveils the first sampler from their debut album '24 
             Years Apart'. Based in Estonia, about:river is a unique 
             collaborative project between father and son. Conceptualized by 
             father Oleg in 2018, the following year saw his 12-year-old son 
             Ervin join the project. Initially a clarinet and keyboard 
             player, Ervin quickly became a committed member of the project, 
             contributing not only to live performances but also in the 
             creative process, writing the main themes of their musical 
             creations. Their productions tell a dynamic and sometimes epic 
             story that happens to be set in a dance-groove environment. 
             Since first emerging, the duo's fresh style has continued to 
             delight both their fans and contemporaries, with the world's 
             premiere electronic music tastemakers championing their work. An 
             initial bond with Sound Avenue began in 2021 when the duo took 
             to remodeling Nopi's 'Flatter', before going on to release the 
             thematic three tracker 'Three Drops of Dopamine' earlier this 
             year. With twenty-four years separating this elusive father and 
             son duo, it seems only fitting that they unveil the biggest 
             project of their young careers via Sound Avenue, an expansive 
             audio travelogue appropriately titled '24 Years Apart'. Due for 
             release in October, we now get a first look into the album with 
             a three-track sampler entitled 'Frozen'. 

             As the album's first showcase piece 'Frozen' finds about:river 
             flexing their free thinking muscles with evolving, emotional and 
             hypnotizing structures, allowing the listener to relish in the 
             groove, building anticipation towards an array of colourful keys 
             and warm atmospheric phrasing. Continuing to diversify their 
             portfolio, 'Snowing Inside' lands as the collection's second 
             showcase piece and finds the duo at the peak of their creative 
             powers, juxtaposing soulful instrumentation over exotic drum 
             arrangements for a heartfelt seven-minute journey. Beneath the 
             hopeful qualities of 'Snowing Inside' lies the enchanted 
             realities of 'Dropped', a swing-heavy drawl where Mediterranean 
             motifs marry buoyant acid lines and creamy tones for a third and 
             final prelude to the October release of '24 Years Apart'.
