Κάποια άλμπουμ κολλημένα στο limbo μεταξύ των καλύτερων κυκλοφοριών και των αδιάφορων μας κοιτούν με βλέμμα προσμονής. Σε κανέναν από αυτούς τους δίσκους δεν αξίζει να πάει «αδιάβαστος» οπότε θα επιχειρήσουμε να πούμε δύο λόγια για τον καθένα. Δίσκοι σε καμία περίπτωση τέλειοι, που όμως διαθέτουν κάτι ο καθένας όπου μπορείς να σταθείς. Το 100 Lovers των Devotchka είναι βασισμένο σε αυτό το κλασσικό με έθνικ επιρροές ροκ τους που τόσο γλαφυρά σχεδιάζουν τα τελευταία δέκα χρόνια και έφτασε στο απόγειο της δόξας του με [...]

Here's a nicely blended sound if I've ever heard one. In The Rosebuds I hear definite notes of Arcade Fire (see the impeccable piano-driven wonderfulness of "We Used To Wait"), but with a more melancholy quality that doesn't exist in the latter. Great mixed vocals, nicely placed moments of blasting percussion, and a sweetly explosive chorus that keeps you coming back for more make "Woods" one of
To continue pushing their fifth and latest album, the Rosebuds are taking Loud Planes Fly Low back out on the road again this fall. The thing is, the gigs don't start up until a month after they play the Hopscotch Music Festival in their native Raleigh, N.C. Starting Oct. 10, though, the former husband-and-wife duo will trek across the East Coast and into the Midwest before taking off for Paris, France for the Euro Pitchfork Music Festival. The tour follows their previous jaunt with Bon Iver, which just wrapped up two weeks [...]

Here's a little known falsity you might not know: When Orson Wells was on his deathbed, the last word that fell ever so gently from his lips was "Rosebuds". In an odd mirror of his greatest role as Charles Foster Kane, who said "rosebud" in a desperate vocalization for his long lost childhood, maybe Orson was calling out for what he would not get to experience in the well textured music of The Rosebuds. He was a visionary after all. Lucky you, you get to hear them right here and right now. Enjoy! Thje Rosebuds - Woods [...]

The Rosebuds at Prospect Park last week ( more by Amanda Hatfield ) The Rosebuds , who just opened two incredible shows for Bon Iver in NYC as the last two dates on their tour together, have a few more shows announced that happen later this year. No tour has been announced yet, but we know that they'll be at Hopscotch in North Carolina , Pitchfork Paris and [...]
Photo gallery of Bon Iver and The Rosebuds at Prospect Park Bandshell in Brooklyn NY (August 10, 2011)

photos by Amanda M. Hatfield , words by Andrew Sacher Justin Vernon walked onto the dimly lit stage at the sold out Celebrate Brooklyn show in Prospect Park last night (8/10) with his 9-piece Bon Iver , picked up his guitar, and quietly began playing the guitar riff of album opener "Perth." The band slowly began building the song into its borderline-heavy metal ending, letting us know immediately that Bon Iver are not a 9-piece band [...]

words by Rachel Kowal , photos by Jessica Amaya Back in June, The Awl compiled a long list of the adjectives (and a few adverbs) used by music journalists to describe the new self-titled Bon Iver album. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of the words chosen seemed more apt for describing a coat or a lumberjack than music: plaid-clad, wintry, warm, pretty, layered, rustic, wooly, enveloping. It was an Onion article waiting to be written. (Oh [...]

The Rosebuds' latest is the first following the divorce of lead members Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard. Lyrically, songs share the sadness of their coping process. Musically, its likely the band's saddest as well, slower and darker than previous efforts while still exploring a wide variety of styles and sounds.
Supporting the early-June release of Loud Planes Fly Low, The Rosebuds returned to Eau Claire on July 20 for the first time in two years and played one of the most memorable shows since its last visit. A full photo set and written review of the show is included!
The Rosebuds' call and response sing-along, "Nice Fox," was a crowd favorite at this July 20 show at the House of Rock. Sweaty arms swung around drunken friends, and exhausted, enthusiastic voices strained to hit their mark and contribute to the dark ballad. Stay tuned for more from this great show!

Nothing stops The Rosebuds from making music together. The Rosebuds (Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard) had been putting out records for nearly a decade as a husband and wife team, making narrative-driven songs with atypical lyrics, veering from indie pop to folk and dance and back again. But after the release of 2008's Life Like , Kelly and Ivan decided to get divorced. Surprisingly, the end of their relationship didn't spell the end of their band, and they embarked on a trying (and often profound) writing and recording process. The "transformative" result is Loud [...]
