}}Riveresque (styled as river{{'}}esque) is the ninth studio album by Australian folk rockers, Weddings Parties Anything.[1] It was released in September 1996 with band members co-producing alongside Cameron Craig and Dylan Hughes.[1][2] It peaked at No. 34 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[3] According to the inlay card: "Riverésque after the style of a river winding, flowing towards the sea, meandering."[4]

It is the first album on their new record label, Mushroom Records, and was initially distributed by Festival Records.[1][5] After Mushroom's CEO Michael Gudinski dropped Festival as their distributor he took up with Sony Music Australia.[6]

Re-release pressings of river{{'}}esque were issued in October 1997 and feature a different sleeve.[6][10] It includes a bonus nine-track CD, Garage Sale, which was also available separately at their live performances during 1997.[6][7] The bonus CD has three cover versions: Tim Hardin's "Reason to Believe", Susanna Clark and Richard Leigh's "From the Heart", and Ewan MacColl's "Sweet Thames Flow Softly".[7]

Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, felt that river{{'}}esque was "another top-notch release, mixing storming rockers with pristine ballads. Anderson's gypsy violin also served to flesh out the band's honest and direct songs."[1] Aaron Badgley of AllMusic opined that "the band has their trademark sound, mostly due to Michael Thomas's impassioned vocals, but there seemed to be a new energy in this release. In particular, Jen Anderson's violin playing seems more in the foreground, producing a very melancholy sound to the typically sad songs of regrets, lost loves, unrequited loves, and the struggles of being musicians. The sound on this CD leans more toward alternative country than folk, but it works incredibly well."[7] While the bonus disc, Garage Sale, "features a much looser sound, and three cover versions... Overall a pleasant CD, but it does not live up to River'esque, and sounds more like outtakes or B-sides. Fun for fans, but not much of an interest to the casual listener."[7]
