Another Way In - The Rosebuds - Life Like - 2008

Funny thing...I just bought and added this album to my iPod this AM, just in time for this song to jump to the head of the line. So this is a super fresh perspective.

Typically on any Rosebuds album Kelly Crisp will sing 2-3 songs, and this is one of them. Though she'll never be blessed with either the pipes or the chops of her husband, there is a certain charm to her deadpan vocals. Additionally, her songwriting (assuming she writes the songs she sings) has improved making her songs a bit more interesting. This song continues in the same dark vein as her songs on Night of the Furies.

I haven't listened to the whole record, but if Ivan Howard continues the shoegaze-y guitar playing he demonstrates in the second half of this song throughout the album, then that can only be a good thing.
