I miss the excitement and chaos of the pre-COVID city – being surrounded by unmasked people, no one anxious, just enjoying each others’ energy (or maybe resenting it). Nowadays, everything looks crisper and smells better, but why can’t we have both? When I hit play on the new EP from City Rose, it gives me a fix of the gritty noise, happiness and melancholy of city life. Today I’m excited to share their track “Sextons Call” off their self-titled EP, which drops on cassette and digital on June 19th via Third Coming Records, and you can pre-order it here. If you need some sonic havoc in your life, look no further than City Rose…
