Track 1 on the Radio Promotional sampler and Track 1 on Rorschach Radiowaves
A terrific and tumultuous tour-de-force that blitzes the listener for two and a half minutes. Accurately reflecting that knock-out of an image that comes into your psyche and you wonder what to say and how to say it. The scrambled emotions are mirrored in the manic presentation.

"The Answer"
Opening track on the Super Auspicious CD Time: 3:05
"I don't want/to fall in line" sings Adam Rivera on this sparkling pop gem with very interesting production and its unique opening. 1:49 in to the performance the singer emotes: "You ask why/I don't care/that the answer still remains..."

"All I Want"
Time: 2:32
Track #8 Super Auspicious CD
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/superauspicious/id553836299
While on "Gone" the love interest vanishes in the wink of an eye, on "All I Want' the hopeless romantic that Adam Rivera is just wants the object of his affection back in his arms.
Two minutes and thirty two seconds of power pop with a glorious descending guitar line. It's like the Buzzcocks meet James Taylor in its efficiency, sincerity and determination.

Here's a brand new review by
Jefferson Airplane / Jefferson Starship biographer Craig Fenton:
Adam Rivera-
SuperAuspicious
Adam Rivera - Rorschach Radiowaves
Adam Rivera - Rorschach Radiowaves
Adam Rivera
It’s been fourteen years and counting since Adam Rivera’s
debut the Oceanside EP (released 1999).
Those that have eavesdropped on his stage magic or his blueprint in the
recording studio aren’t shocked by his longevity. The revaluation is Adam’s ability to walk
several musical directions.
A multitude of those in and out of the music business have
often referenced Adam’s lyrics as accessible but smart. The description in its simplicity is spot
on. His vocal style allows the one to
one nature to be articulated without drowning with unnecessary verses.
To wear one hat and flourish is difficult enough. To balance three takes proficiency and high
competence. Adam and his faithful enjoy
his unique brand of speed folk, the alter ego James K Folk (playing the songs
of They Might Be Giants), and the two person band the Externals (with Katie
Feeney).
Adam has a tremendous connection with his fans. The sincerity of the videos produced without
the fluff and stereotypical nature of most show his never ending search for
perfection.
The record industry has changed so much over the years that
the plethora of artists even those embedded with talent are often on their own
when pursuing a dream.
You can see and hear first hand his story of what transpired
to be able to record his recent endeavors.
Adam’s CD’s give an aura of knowing the artist even if the buyer hasn’t
seen him perform (you’ll want to in an expeditious manner). The videos further enhance the specialty of
his work. The Answer the opening song of
his 2012 SuperAuspicious release compliments the song without drowning it in a
sea of superfluous overkill.
The YouTube Channel as well highlights another side of Adam
Rivera as he pays homage to They Might Be Giants (as James K Folk).
To keep up with Adam visit his website http://www.adamriveramusic.com/
There are musical samples, news, and upcoming performances.
Adam Rivera-
SuperAuspicious
In 2012 Adam Rivera’s SuperAuspicious saw the light of
day. Adam leads the brigade with vocals
and guitar, Chris Harry takes the drum stool, Kyle Graham handles the
keyboards, and Adam Z fingers the bass.
The four are a cohesive unit as made evident with a wonderful opening
track The Answer. Adam obviously knows
the question; he’s been around long enough to know the importance of the first song. The Answer sets the tone for thirteen cuts
that combine folk, pop, and his own stamp of individuality.
The follow-up track Unsaid articulates plenty with a high
energy opening before the vocals take root.
Contradiction a song placed perfectly in the middle of the
running order is another ear catcher. In
less than two minutes the high octane rocker says more than many tunes three
times the length.
Thirteen numbers all creating a premium listening
experience.
Adam Rivera- Rorschach
Radiowaves
A multitude of artists that release a quality record as Adam
Rivera did in 2012 (SuperAuspicious) would rest on their laurels and savor
every moment before heading back into the studio for the follow-up. Adam’s work ethic would never allow new
material taking a backseat to a pat on the back.
2013 gives us another gem Rorschach Radiowaves. One change in the personnel department Ryan
Malloy takes a seat on the drums.
The opening track Gone with a clever hook and a substantial
vocal immediately pave a smooth road for the fifteen song experience.
Special Kind Of Us documents once again Adam’s ability to
say a myriad of things in a short time span.
Clocking in under two minutes it manages to deliver a knockout punch.
Take Three is another track of intensity. The musicians cook on all cylinders.
Near the CD’s end there is a perfectly titled number Road
Song. Adam knows the highways well. He’s logged many a mile leaving a trail of a
memorable songs and concert goers that got their dollars worth.
All the best,
Craig Fenton
