Review | the Rosebuds – Sand + Silence

[T]he thing about the ocean, as plenty of others have observed before, is that as big as it is, the part we see most often is just the top. And yet the ocean’s surface has inspired no end of contemplation. On Sand + Silence, the Rosebuds’ newest album, the ocean’s waves are likened to a “city of moving lips.” The Chilean poet Pablo Neruda – one of the ocean’s more fervid admirers – likewise observes in his poem, “Ode to the Sea,” the steady murmur of the waves and hears within them a restless ambivalence.

New Music | The Rosebuds – In My Teeth

The Rosebuds

[I]’m pretty excited that North Carolina’s The Rosebuds are at it again, carefully composing another classic sounding folk-rock tune in “In My Teeth,” a tune that slowly slides itself deep inside your head, after a few listens, you have no idea where the time went, but you know you enjoyed it. It’s got a semblance of a dark and subtle elegance, it’s got a pretty awesome groove, that is at times stunning. The single will appear on their upcoming record, Sand + Silence, out August 5th on Western Vinyl. The duo teamed up with Justin Vernon, who co-produced the record, and jumps in on a few of the songs for acoustic guitar and synths.

Video | The Rosebuds – Woods

The Rosebuds – Woods from Merge Records on Vimeo.

Check out the video for new Rosebuds track ‘Woods’ a song from their recently released album, Loud Planes Fly Low, that was out June 7th on Merge Records. Its reminding me a lot of some Twilight Singers stuff, not quite as dark but the pulsing piano rhythms and explosive chorus’ leave me thirsty for more of their new album. The video is a collection of stark black and white recordings of surfing and a creepy vhs style (tracking fix please) handy cam footage of the singer singing. It’s really strange, but I can’t stop listening to this song, so its great to see they gave it a video treatment.

The Rosebuds will be touring for much of the summer, including a series of opening gigs for Bon Iver.
