Bossa Nova corner. Not a general It Starts With obsession but this is a neat record. John Roseboro's Fools tends your inner soul. And as any Fule Noesm the inner soul requires tending.
Roseboro works out of Brooklyn, one of the workd capitals of New Bohemianism. In the words of the Bandcamp page the record 'subverts traditional conventions on what alternative music is. Disposing of tored chord progressions, kitschy themes and larping emo aesthetics.' Somebody's swallowed a dictionary.
Still I'm happy to endorse the principle. I like manifetoes. And this is a rather lovely record. Thanks againt Darren Jone for tending to the Captain's Table. I'm off to listen to Sade.

Glad you liked it, Bruce! It kind of hit the spot for me somehow, in an unexpected way. Nice to break away from the indie guitar stuff... but who knew Bossa Nova would be the way to do it?
ReplyDeleteSurprised me too. The Bandcamp page is quite earnest. But I like that.
