Californian singer songwriter Angelica Rockne has today shared the title track from her upcoming album ‘The Rose Society’.
On the track, Rockne says:
“The Rose Society is that place you return to for respite. An unexpected sanctuary found behind eroding city streets, and when you arrive you kind of collapse because you can. This tune also pays homage to the parts of ourselves that were never seen, or could never fully come into the light.”
Premiered yesterday at Holler, “The Rose Society” follows “Age of the Voyeur” and “White Cadillac” as the third single to be released from ‘The Rose Society’.
Rockne will release her second album ‘The Rose Society’ on 5th May 2023. Rockne came to Loose’s attention with her startling debut ‘Queen Of San Antonio‘. Released back in 2017 the album led to LA Weekly heralding her as Best Country Singer of 2019. Closer to home, Rockne has already come to the attention of Uncut Magazine who made her debut album one of their Americana Albums of The Month and have just featured the opening track of her new album on Volume 6 of their iconic and influential Sounds Of The New West series of covermount CDs.
Now, Sitting amongst the orchards of Corralitos, California, Angelica Rockne reflects on the recent past. Her forthcoming album, ‘The Rose Society’, has been in a process of distillation for five years now. “It sounds like a lifetime, but really it’s been equally ephemeral as it has been eternal”. The album was self-produced, with Oz Fritz at the helm. Rockne called upon longtime collaborators Jason Cirimele on guitar and bass, Cody Rhodes on drums and percussion, and a new friend, Patrick McGee, on piano and organ. The band referenced everything from Ethiopian jazz to Stravinsky, back to folk standards and iconic rock like Harry Nilsson’s Pussy Cats, produced by John Lennon. The arrangements have a fluidity to them, the music lives comfortably within the spaciousness-on top of a desert mesa or pastoral lands untarnished by man. They recorded in a small studio in Nevada City, California in June, 2021. Rockne continued to sculpt the material for eight more months before developing a strategy for string arrangements with Scott McDowell, Graham Patzner, and Lewis Patzner at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco.
‘The Rose Society’ will be released on 5th May on black vinyl LP, CD and digitally.
