batteryboy album release + The Ericksons
batteryboy has been described by 89.3 The Current's Andrea Swensson as ...reminiscent of Cloud Cults acoustic work and neo-folkies like Bon Iver. Americana UKs 7/10 album review of batteryboys debut up for air says batteryboy remind me of The National, particularly the passion the members of both bands put in when delivering their performances.

on before the silence breaks, batteryboy has evolved to create a sonic niche of their own. Rouse claims batteryboy 'makes music to deal with everything else,' and when they sweep you up in their lush sound and cathartic, emotionally charged lyrics, you just might find some help dealing with everything else, too.

batteryboy was founded as a solo project by Rouse in 2011, and now includes multi-instrumentalist Eric Carranza, cellist Hilary James (We are the Willows), and drummer Kahlil Brewington. Cloud Cult violinist Shannon Frid-Rubin also appears on several songs on the album and will join the band for the Icehouse release show.  before the silence breaks is produced by Eric Martin and Cobey Rouse.

before the silence breaks will be released August 2, 2016 on Galloping Spread Records.

Rouse pours his heart into batteryboys eloquent lyrics; they come straight from the soul. - Becca Martin, Rift Magazine

The melody of the sad songs, even without the lyrics, opens your heart. The reserved upbeat tempo of the joyous songs makes you smile wistfully...its just beautiful, grown up music. - Ann Treacy, TC Daily Planet

"The sound is comfortably grounded by heart-over-head vocals graced in sweet harmonies anchored in pulsating percussion. Lofty and sincere lyrical lines slide over the sweetly sad string slips that will keep them in you inner ear for the next year and more." - Mid West Music Fest
