Rose Windows - The Sun Dogs (2013)

Rose Windows - The Sun Dogs

  Seattles' psych post rockers Rose Windows released "The Sun Dogs" in 2013 stirring the gods of space!  With songs being written by band leader Chris Cheveyo and lead singer Rabia Shaheen Qazi this album will captivate your mind!...at least it did mine!

Fans of Sigur Ros will likely love this album with their atmosphereic spaceiness and deep unhurried musical exploration into textures.   Lead vocalist Rabia Shaheen Qazi has a beautiful voice that soars above the sonic kaleidocopes of sound.   Rose Windows is a seven piece band with 3 guitarists, bass, drums, organ, vocals and flute.......

There is also a definite Persian- Eastern tinged carpet and incense feeling going on here.....what a magical carpet ride

 My favourite moment is the 10 mins epic tune "This Shroud" with its huge wall of Eastern infused psychedelic rock.

A fantastic band and a great debut album......one of my favourites from 2013!!
