Whitney Rose & Shelby Earl
Whitney Rose is in the throes of album-birth with her sophomore effort "Heartbreaker of the Year." The record was released in Canada on April 21st through Cameron House Records to much acclaim, and Rose has been busy supporting it with constant touring across the country. The album will be released in the United States and rest of world late August 2015 through Redeye Worldwide.
Rose describes her music as 'vintage-pop-infused-neo-traditional-country,' usually with a chuckle, and admits "The record is a little weird, it's a little quirky, but so am I."
After supporting genre-defying country legends, The Mavericks, on tour throughout Canada in 2014, Malo was inspired to produce, play, and sing with Rose on the album. "I love this record," says Malo. "I'm honoured to have played a part in the making of it. The songs are so strong no one could ruin themnot even me."
Seattle's amber-voiced indie-folk artist, Shelby Earl, wasn't born a songwriter. She became one. And in the words of NPR's Ann Powers "She writes for those of us who've been through a few things." Earl recognized from long stints in other bands, singing other people's songs, that she was moved to do more to become the kind of generative artist she'd long admired. The break up of her band, The Hope, in 2007 began Earl's search for a role beyond being just "lead singer." It was that search, and her belief in the rewarding work of songwriting, that led Earl to quit her corporate job in 2009 and start sharing her astoundingly powerful songs. In 2011 she released her debut solo album Burn the Boats, produced by John Roderick of the Long Winters and released on Local 638 Records. The title was inspired by her stepfather telling someone that Earl had "pulled all the boats ashore and burned them" to live her dreams.
During the inception of her follow-up album, Swift Arrows, Earl approached celebrated Seattle folk artist, Damien Jurado, for his help as a producer. Swift Arrows is a record full of dark corners and dazzling shafts of light. An exploration in gamboling piano lines slowing into lingering, thrumming ballads, Earl sounds as though she's singing from the very boat she burned before- throwing breakaway melodies into a whipping wind of resonant choral singers.
