Rose Cousins - We Have Made A Spark - 10th Anniversary - VINYL LP

Rose Cousins finds insight in solitude and strength in numbers. To make We Have Made A Spark, she gathered her friends and collaborators Zachariah Hickman (producer) and Austin Nevins (who both play in Josh Ritter's Royal City Band), songwriters Rose Polenzani, Kris de lmhorst, Mark Erelli, Jennifer Kimball, Laura Cortese, Amy Correia, Ana Egge, Edie Care y, members of Session Americana Billy Beard & Dinty Child, and multi-instrumentalists Sean Staples and Charlie Rose together to make the record at well-known American studio (Q Division) used by James Taylor, Aimee Mann, Patty Griffin. Along with new music comes a short film called If I Should Fall Behind, about the heart of the community where the record was made.

JUNO award winner Rose Cousins is interested in the juxtaposition of things. Her new album, BRAVADO, peers behind the kinds of doors we tend to leave closed, [for better or worse, or both]. It is the sound of a heart trying to open. It is a bold swagger, a vulnerable facade. InchBRAVADO is an exploration of self-worth and an investigation into the nuances of our tough exteriors - why we act brave while feeling afraid, how we appear impressive while privately questioning our worthiness, how confidence shares space with shame.Inch Cousins' last project, Natural Conclusion, received much acclaim, including a Grammy nomination, a JUNO nomination for Songwriter of the Year, and 3 wins at the East Coast Music Awards. Rose's songs have appeared on Grey's Anatomy, Supergirl, Reign, Nashville, and others. She has shared stages with heroic songwriters such as Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jann Arden & Ron Sexsmith. BRAVADO will be released worldwide 02.21 on Outside Music.The Benefits of Being Alone (single #1)The ExpertThe AgreementThe Fraud (single #2)The Time Being (Impending Mortality Awareness Society)The DinThe Return (Love Comes Back) (single #3)The Swimmer (To Be an Old Man)The Lullaby (My Oldest Love)The Benediction (A Good Woman)The Reprise (The Benefits of Being Alone)The Truth (It's Just Emotion)

On her forthcoming record, Rose Cousins holds our hands as she guides us on a journey through the Inchconditions of love.Inch Ever the emotional explorer, the acclaimed, Nova-Scotia-based folk artist seeks truth, in all it's imperfection, in the depths of our most complicated of emotions love. Co-produced with trusted friend and longtime bandmate Joshua Van Tassel, this new collection of songs sees Rose return to her first love, the piano. InchPiano is where I feel the most connected. It's the best partner in expressing the emotion I'm mining,Inch she shares.
