John Vanderslice will be releasing his 6th full length album, Romanian Names, on Dead Oceans next Tuesday, May 19th. In celebration of the release he will be performing at The Rickshaw Stop that evening with The Morning Benders in what should be one of the best all local shows this year.
In his latest release, Vanderslice continued his long time collaboration with producer Scott Solter but this time headed to his home studio to record most of it. Featuring 11 contributors outside of his touring ensemble, Romanian Names, is rich in textures, harmonies and instrumentation including some very prominent woodwind arrangements.
