"At the River" is a song by English electronica duo Groove Armada. It was released as a single in 1997 on 7" vinyl, limited to 500 copies.[citation needed] The song was later added to the track listing of their second album, Vertigo, released in April 1999. On 26 July 1999, the single was re-released on 12" and CD. This re-release peaked at number 19 in the UK Singles Chart.[1]
A sample of Patti Page's "Old Cape Cod" forms the basis of the song. The lines "If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air... Quaint little villages here and there.." sung in Page's multi-tracked close-harmony repeated throughout the song, with the addition of synthesizer bass, slowed-down drum programming, and a blues-style trombone solo to produce a more chill-out track.
It was used in an advert for Marks & Spencer for their Summer 2006 campaign, and in the films About Time and The Low Down.[2][3]
