From the musicians behind JUNO-nominated band The Wooden Sky and Canada’s greatest party band Dwayne Gretzky, comes Toronto’s own MOONRiiVR. Gavin Gardiner and “Champagne” James Robertson craft a sonic world that reflects every moment in time with analog tape, slide guitars, wonky string synths, and nimble percussion. Wavelength’s Lian McMillan talked to Gardiner from his All Day Coconut studio about their recent single “You Get Me By” and his twenty year history playing at Wavelength!
