Product Description

Leeds–based musician Chris Hooson is a very prolific man. He seems to brim over with ideas for songs and projects. Although he works a full job as an adviser in a probation center, he and his band Dakota Suite still find enough time to put all these songs on magnetic tape. Over the years, Dakota Suite have released a singles compilation (Alone With Everybody, 1998), a collection of instrumental pieces for piano and assorted instruments (Navigators Yard, 1999), another instrumental one recorded with a chamber orchestra (The Way I Am Sick, 2001), a mini album (Morning Lake Forever, 2000) and two "real" full-length albums: Songs For A Barbed Wire Fence(1998) and Signal Hill(2000). Without wanting to dismiss all the other projects, This River Only Brings Poison is Dakota Suite's third album. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

If you're longing for sincere music that hasn't been tainted by hipster posing, please look into Dakota Suite. You won't be disappointed. They have quietly been making great music, contentedly sharing it with a small, sincere, dismayed, and hopeful handfull.
