Release Notes:
Night Of The Furies is the third full-length from The Rosebuds, and will have
fans heading for the dance floor with "Get Up Get Out" and "Hold on to This
Coat." Stylistically, however, Night Of The Furies follows a logical progression
from their earlier work, 2003's The Rosebuds Make Out (MRG235) and 2005's Birds
Make Good Neighbors (MRG264). The danceable beats meld with catchy melodies
built on themes both dark and seductive. Thematically, the songs are presented
as individual and random parts of a larger story. The mood is ominous yet
enticing; dangerous yet enchanting. Lyrics explore revolution and struggle,
actions and consequences, but also love and redemption. One could easily just
bounce along on the infectious pop hooks. Dig a little deeper, however, and a
larger story and unified themes begin to unfold.
