Rosegarden Funeral Party - From The Ashes (CD)

Genre: dark wave, goth rock, post punk, shoegaze

Since 2017, the Texan Gothrock/Postpunk/Darkwave-trio ROSEGARDEN FUNERAL PARTY has been releasing music continuously without longer breaks. Even during the pandemic, two new albums were released, and to much acclaim! This and the constant live presence show the irrepressible joy of playing music of the band around singer Leah Lane.

After the 2022 album "Take Cover", which contained only cover versions, some of which were really surprising in song selection and interpretations, the fifth album (alongside numerous digital singles and a CD compilation) "From the Ashes" is now being released again by Y&C.

The basic musical direction has of course remained the same, that is, Rosegarden Funeral Party draw extensively on over 40 years of Wave- and Postpunk-history and use it to form their very own style, not least through the expressive vocals of Leah Lane. There is everything from raw Gothrock in "Doorway Ghost" to Darkwave in "First to cry" and Guitar-Wave in "Pillar of Salt" to Postpunk in the title track "From the Ashes". The influences range from bands like All About Eve and Ghost Dance ("Almost Heaven") through Toyah and Hazel O'Connor ("Embers") to The Chameleons ("Pillar of Salt") and Sparks ("Love Like Goodbye"). This variedness, the intensity of the live performances and a cover artwork that is rather unusual for the genre (but noticeable) will bring "From the Ashes" a lot of attention and not only satisfy existing fans, but also attract new listeners.
