What, exactly, is the interface between shoegaze and singer-songwriter? If we're honest, there's always been this layover, this strange place in the Venn diagram where spaced-out meets inward-looking. Take Rosali, whose windswept "Hangin'" (off the forthcoming Out of Love) bears not just a timeless Joni-singin'-to-the-cliffs-of-Marin vibe but also a spiritualization courtesy of production from Gerhardt Koerner (Hi Soft, Lilys). This is lovely stuff, both recorded and live, no matter which side of the interface you're on.
Rosali plays with E and Insect Factory on Wednesday, April 20th at Pageant: Soloveev Gallery.
