The Rosebuds are known for making upbeat guitar-based pop music, so after the duo - Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp - got divorced, you may have expected them to drive their emotions into the music to make either their most intense album yet, or go the complete opposite way and make their most morose. But, they have done neither. Rather, The Rosebuds sound, for the most part, more relaxed than ever on Loud Planes Fly Low . The songs on this album stay steadfastly at mid-tempo like their previous work, but they attempt to incorporate more instrumentation [...]
Too many songs. So little time these days. All these songs deserve more words and praise than I can give them. I'm taking the lazy way out today and just giving you what I like. Oddly enough, these three songs fit together quite well. Enjoy Woods - Sun & Shade Website Read a review & stream album on Everybody Taste Take some time to dig into this one, it's fantastic and perfect for summer. [...]

How to choose what makes it onto your iPod/phone/retro Walkmen knock off player...?? Streams. There are more and more sites committing themselves to pre-release album streams, meaning those of us that still dole out our hard-earned on recorded music can easily preview our purchases, without all that download/delete palaver.

1. The Appleseed Cast - "Middle States" (Atmospheric and affecting, the title track to the long-standing, boundary-breaking group's excellent new EP out now on Graveface Records proves they haven't lost a step. Look for their 8th album due to be released next year on Graveface.) http://www.myspace.com/theappl eseedcast Download: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ kvzetk 2.

The Rosebuds' "Loud Planes Fly Low" was released today on Merge, and you can see them this Saturday at Kings. Surprisingly, this show is not currently sold out , but I feel certain it will be before the day of show, so get your tickets now. They won't be around here again until their July 29 show with Bon Iver at Raleigh Amphitheater. And as a side note, thanks to Frank Heath for booking that show, and The Decemberists show, also this Saturday, at the amphitheater . I truly hope both of these shows are major successes, [...]
The Rosebuds, who are opening for Bon Iver at the Tower Theatre in August, have released a new album today, Loud Planes Fly Low . The Rosebuds hail from Raleigh, North Carolina and play indie/folk-pop full of interlacing male-female vocals (courtesy of founders Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard) and infectious choruses. Lead single "Woods" is an indie-rock jam with Howard singing lead (and sounding oddly like Ryan Adams) over plunking keyboards and rolling drums. You can download the mp3 for free on their website . —Kiley Bense

photos by Tim Griffin Peter Bjorn & John @ Antone's Peter, Bjorn & John recently announced a tour with six local dates in September, but the September 14 show at Highline Ballroom is actually not happening (they were considering it and accidentally announced it, but it is 100% cancelled). That's ok though because there are still more than enough chances to see the band. Tickets are still available for MHOW [...]

Andrew Kenny and Dallas Green bring their bands to the spot light this week, but it's a group from New York that has the buzz about them. That's right, The Postelles ' self-titled album swings to a 'City' rock pulsing with simplicity and window-opening appeal. Kenny returns with his second album with Wooden Birds . The former frontman for American Analog Set still abides to his former fans by mixing in tracks, but it's the sophomore album Two Matchsticks that should be checked out. From Green comes the soothing rock of [...]
Being the child of two divorces, I understand what it's like when a marriage crumbles around you. So, of course, I'd be more than intrigued when The Rosebuds announced that, despite the divorce of Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard, the indie folk rockers would strive on as a musical unit with their fifth LP, Loud Planes Fly Low . However, even with the rich and emotionally impactful source material the two had to cull from, the entire effort feels muted. Being flat does not mean these songs are bad; in fact, if you measure the [...]

They're streaming the entire album five days before it drops, so you can check out just what Prefix writer Matthew Fiander meant when he wrote: It's an album that sounds like it was difficult to make, as these two move from being the couple to being the players, and that difficulty yields some of their most [...]
Ao contrário de 99% dos casais que vêem a relação minguar sem nada fazer a não ser brigar e contratar advogados, Ivan Howard e Kelly Crisp resolveram a questão de uma maneira madura, civilizada e, melhor, lúdica e criativa: fizeram mais um disco do Rosebuds . Esse Loud Planes Fly Low é o quinto disco da dupla que mora na Carolina do Norte, Esteites. Antes um casal, Howard e Crisp conversaram, expuseram as mágoas mútuas, escreveram e compuseram, gravaram e regravaram, e assim foram amenizando a dor. [...]
'Loud Planes Fly Low', the new album from The Rosebuds, had the potential to be a defining break-up album for the new decade. The marriage between band members Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard had broken down and this was their first album as band-mates rather than as husband and wife. We hate to revel in other people's pain, but it's the sad truth that beautiful music is born out of heartache. Unfortunately though, what we have here is collection of songs which fall flat, offering nothing more than a one-paced hollow imitation of what once was. Looking back [...]
There probably isn't going to be an album release on Merge this year that sees less attention than The Rosebuds' Loud Planes Fly Low , which sounds like a bad thing, but may in fact turn out to be a good one. The new album from the North Carolina duo is an absolute gem of laid back pop with broken-heart vocals and will catch those going in with no expectations completely off guard in the best way possible. Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard were married, but are recently divorced, and channelled any feelings that they had [...]
