"Wartime Lovers" by the Rose Windows has crept into my head since it's been getting air time on Philly's WPXN. The psychedelic, globally-influenced group from Seattle, released their debut album with, none other than, Sub Pop Records in June. The Sun Dogs is a collection of lyrical tales marked with "elements of The Band’s folk-infused rock, The Doors organ-driven psychedelia, and Black Sabbath’s blues-based dirges...". I think my favorite song is "Native Dreams". It has this epic prog rock feel about it with some Persian inspired melodies. I can't help but feel a power similar to Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane from the lead female vocalist. Hypnotic and atmospheric, with considerable nods to the past, this is an album that deserves some attention. Listen Here.
The band includes talent from:
Chris Cheveyo – lead guitar/composer
Rabia Shaheen Qazi – lead vocalist
Richie Rekow – bass/ 1st male vocalist
Nils Petersen – rhythm guitar/2nd male vocalist
Pat Schowe – drums
David Davila – piano/organ
Veronica Dye – flute
This video for "Wartime Lovers" was collaborative effort with Fool's Road, planned and shot in only 8 days after having met, impressive!
Looks like they'll be hitting up Philly in October at MilkBoy Philly. And they're on the bill with a Philly-based band, The Bailey Hounds, who I've seen a few times, definitely recommend them as well!
