Nice! Reminds me of Natural Child and their "Okey Dokey" LP

I love this Rose City Band album. It really is a perfect summer record, so warm. I haven't paid much attention to the Wooden Shjips universe, but this made me go back to some of their stuff and also to Moon Duo. I like his whole vibe.

Another Rose City Band album coming in May, Earth Trip. You can pre-order it from Trill Jockey and get some rolling papers with it, on brand.

another one! he's really churning these out ... which is good! i always put on this guy's records and think "eh, this is kinda boring" and then about two minutes in I think "hey this is great!"

haha yes

this new one is great, maybe the spaciest/ mellowest yet
― mizzell, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 23:57 (two years ago) link
ooh that sounds good, stuff like 'I Hear The Vibrations (E-Z Version)' is my fave - is that a good reference point?
― sleeve, Thursday, 17 June 2021 00:21 (two years ago) link
no not really. it’s much more acoustic sounding with beautiful pedal steel. none of the motorik groove/ driving bass lines like on Vibrations.

hilarious to me that this doors worship band is named after a song by a guy who famously hated jim morrison and his music

The Doors comparisons didn't make sense to me in 2007 and they still don't in 2023, tbh.

haha yeah — he occasionally has sort of subtly morrison-esque croon but I wouldn't call 'em a Doors worship band. New one is pretty killer, all the players are really good, Barry Walker especially.

Assume you are talking about his new Rose City Band album, otherwise I missed some news!
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 31 March 2023 16:01 (one year ago) link
oh haha, yes the new Rose City! no new Wooden Shjips record as far as I know.

Huge fan of all things Ripley Johnson and have loved everyhting RCB since the self-titled! tylerw, care to share how this new one compares to the 1st three? more of the same country 'choogle'? cosmic americana? more psych-y perhaps? Barry Walker on the lap steel is always a great thing! Any sneak peek/intel would be greatly appreciated!
― vinyljunkie, Friday, 31 March 2023 21:24 (one year ago) link
i was such a huge Shjips and Moon Duo fan, but i can't get into RCB at all ... and i live close to the RC and i've tried ... just won't take.

I've liked all the Rose City Band stuff but I think the new one is my favorite — I've seen some reviews that don't love its increased space noodle factor, but I love that! The last three tracks in particular are just kind of a long gorgeous reverie. No particular place to go and no hurry to get there.

This is exactly what I needed this morning without knowing I needed it. Very JJ Cale.
― Stars of the Lidl (Chinaski), Thursday, 8 June 2023 08:40 (ten months ago) link
Yeah I already held RCB in high regard, but the new one takes it to a whole new level. I've gotten so much mileage out of it.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 8 June 2023 16:47 (ten months ago) link
I really love the first three records, but had kinda decided to sit the latest one out, just because I felt I had enough of them, there's other music to buy etc.But then last night, two beers in, I read tipsy's post, listened to about half of Mariposa, and immediately ordered the record.

this is really scratching my "what else sounds like Relatively Clean Rivers" itch, thanks thread
― broken breakbeat (sleeve), Thursday, 8 June 2023 17:42 (ten months ago) link
New one is my favorite too.
A lot of it reminds me of Beachwood Sparks’ The Tarnished Gold—a really terrific and overlooked album. RCB is a lot noodlier but there is still a shared vibe
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Friday, 9 June 2023 02:58 (ten months ago) link
i can't really hang with this RCB record. it just sounds like easy listening music? i'm not saying that's bad, it's just not for me i guess.
― budo jeru, Friday, 9 June 2023 22:27 (ten months ago) link
Was pleasantly surprised to hear These Shadows in Episode 8 of The Diplomat on Netflix. Pink Floyd's The Great Gig in the Sky as well.

no man, it's cosmic :)
It's easy to listen to, but in a good way imo. Definitely a vibe, so if you don't vibe with it, c'est ca.

the last time i saw them (2006 or 2007) they opened for 水晶の舟 whose name translates to "The Crystal Ship".
