    Ramblin' With The Day will never fail to make me smile. And that jam on Empty Bottles! Been following Mr. Johnson since Wooden Shjips and I think this might be my favorite of his incarnations. Endless melancholy joy . . .

    Rose City Band has released their fourth album "Garden Party" to my surprise rather quickly you see. Don't worry though, it is well planned and quite good actually IMHO. "Garden Party", put together by Wooden Shjips/Moon Duo guitarist and artist, Ripley Johnson from Portland, OR. Johnson hit a prolific streak, releasing the sophomore album "Summerlong" in 2020 and returning almost exactly a year later with the third set "Earth Trip". (This is a band created and implemented during the great Covid-19 epidemic exclusively!) To be honest, I do believe that the pandemic variant has allowed many artists to peruse their existentialist existence and contemplate their "great ape existence" indefinitely you see? With so many hours, weeks, months, and years of isolation and reflection, post pandemic 2023 has turned into a novel year of very creative rock in all genres. For the forth album "Garden Party", he worked with with Johnson still handling a lot of the playing duties himself and enlisting Moon Duo bandmates John Jeffrey and Sanae Yamada to play drums and synths, respectively The album was released on April 21, 2023, and its content focused on themes of natural beauty and finding hope and solace in nature. I think you'll truly enjoy this psych/rock mellow album immensely and introspectively you see. Pax and love, Murf
