Before Dawn is the first official album by the band Ancient River from 2007 recorded in Gainesville, Florida. Not officially released until seven years later in 2014, the band had already established itself as a progressive live and studio act. What started in a small town took the band to international acclaim. Now for the first time on vinyl Ancient River and Little Cloud Records team up to bring you this dusty, dreamy, psychedelic relic from the past, the future and the present. The river flows. The album is pressed on 140 gram crystal clear vinyl and has a digital download code.
