Madder Rose❣️
I’ve had several requests to cover them for the Sunday Series, and specifically Swim (this one goes out to Dan Carew). MRose were/are one of our favorite peer bands, some of our favorite people to hang with, and their bittersweet beautiful unsettling songs are always on regular rotation. Billy Cote and Mary Lorson were in my very first touring band, a favor I will never forget, and Mary has toured her beautiful solo music with me as well. They had planned to be part of the Belly mini-festival scheduled for this August in Providence, and we’re hoping this will be a possibility next summer...
This one features Dean Fisher on backing vocals, and I love his voice (obv)

like the best lyrically driven bands from the 90s, stripping Belly down to their elements only serves to make their impact that much more poignant. Like the sundays' Harriet Wheeler, Tanya's vocals have a way of cutting through the gloom, illuminating ever greater depths. For the fans, no doubt, as we enjoy a new taste with old friends... but also for someone looking to discover, as well. Name your price. Float away for 6 or 7 minutes. Awaken a touch better centered. setaside2
My sis and I used to love our vinyl copy of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang soundtrack and this takes me right back to our attempts to recreate the film in our dining room! alf0d
