Richmond Fontaine’s 8th album “We Used to Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River“, is Richmond Fontaine at their strongest with Willy Vlautin taking over a year to write; most of it autobiographical. The CD was originally released through El Cortez/Décor Records in 2009 and this is the first time Décor will release the vinyl. It was previously released in 2011 by Diverse in a limited pressing. This was the bands last album recorded with JD Foster and is still seen as one of their strongest.
‘Raw, autobiographical brilliance’ – 5/5 Uncut
‘A dreamy, reverb-laden masterpiece’ – 5/5 Sunday Express
‘Beautiful slices of Americana’- 4/5 Q
‘Vlautin’s gift for observational storytelling helps make this their finest record’ – Mail On Sunday
