For some time now, Portland Oregon’s music community has had a thread running through it with a good number of roots-country ensembles taking inspiration from the brooding soundtracks of Ennio Morricone, the punk-y reach of the Gun Club and the spacious production work of folks like Daniel Lanois and Mitchell Froom. With all due respect to the other artists that fit that bill, no one is doing it better these days than Roselit Bone. Led by singer / songwriter Charlotte McCaslin, the band brings a rawness and dusky wonder that so many of their compatriots are missing.
The group has reached another peak with the release of “Ofrenda”. McCaslin’s songs have the pointed power of an Elmore Leonard novel with their vibrant imagery and plainspokenness. She leaves it to the band to add the texture and subtext. They bring the dusty barroom vibe necessary to evoke the wit, sorrow and bloodthirst of McCaslin’s well-drawn characters that are often in desperate situations.
After more than five years in the making, the band are thrilled to finally share with you our 4th full-length record, “Ofrenda”, out now on all streaming services and available for purchase through Get Loud Recordings or Bandcamp.
Band members past and present who contributed to these songs include Brian Crace, Ben Dahmes, Charlotte McCaslin, Faith Grossnicklaus, Joe Benassi, John England-fisher, Jordan Vale, Nate Lown, Tobias Berblinger, and Victor Franco. And we are so appreciative of the work that our newest band members Amelie Diáz and Russ London are putting in to promote the album.
From the album “Ofrenda”, out August 25th, 2023. on Get Loud Recordings.
