Rosebuds Sand & Silence LP Vinyl

2014 vinyl LP pressing sixth full length album. After spending two years living on opposite coasts and pursuing their own creative projects, Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp returned to set to work on this album. Joining up with Bon Iver front man Justin Vernon (a friend & former band mate who, in a 2011 interview, noted that the Rosebuds make 'some of the most important music in the world'), the North Carolina-bred duo spent a week in Vernon's studio teasing out a batch of songs that effortlessly weave the hooky song craft of classic jangle-pop, the cagey romanticism of new wave, and a refined yet full-hearted sensibility all their own. Featuring Vernon on guitar & synthesizers as well as Bon Iver drummer Matt McCaughan and Sylvan Esso's Nick Sanborn on bass, both longtime pals and cohorts of the Rosebuds the resulting Sand and Silence radiates both a graceful intensity and the loose, joyful energy that comes from making music with friends.
