The EP's second track, Demons builds from a gentle lilt into an exercise in large-scale catharsis: “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside,” warns Reynolds.
Suddenly they sounded like genuine contenders.
It was their debut major label release and marked the first time they’d worked with British producer Alex Da Kid. Imagine Dragon’s fourth EP, Continued Silence, was a tipping point. The lyrics might find Reynolds working through his own inadequacies, but musically this is utterly triumphant. The fuzzy synths of the verse suddenly give way to an explosion of gospel-inspired exhilaration that rushes by like a bursting dam. Imagine Dragons don’t do small-scale, but Mouth Of The River is grandiose even by their standards.
