We are delighted to welcome Rosali and David Nance and the Mowed Sound to Red Clover on their way from The Winnipeg Music Festival to Pitchfork. It’s going to be a special evening of music in the valley. This will be a special evening. Doors at 6pm. Music at 7pm.
North Carolina–based songwriter Rosali (Merge Records) makes songs that take their time in revealing their full power. What might appear to be restrained, introspective compositions will stretch slowly outward, snagging your attention with a sideways guitar lead or an exceptionally raw lyric you didn’t catch the first time around. Her softly glowing music is deceptively fluid, able to appear patient and refined at the edge of unraveling.
David Nance & Mowed Sound makes a rare appearance opening for Rosali. Memories sprout back, like the sounds of a great rock song blasting from the neighbor’s truck as it revs away into the night. There is a definite connection to the past, but the swinging guitar boogie and snarled blues you might expect from Nance and company sounds leaner and completely hypnotic. What remains are 10 tracks from a well-oiled group so rhythmically together that the songs on the album seem as connected as links in a chain.
The Nebraska guitarist and songwriter strips his music to its raw, noisy core, revealing how his favorite records might have sounded when they were still being hammered out in rehearsal. - Pitchfork
