Album Review: Rose Windows - Rose Windows

StarStarStarHalf Star

"There’s more tension in the music this time, with chief songwriter Chris Cheveyo laying down Sabbath-like guitar riffs on 'Glory, Glory'"

It’s been less than a month since Seattle psychedelic rockers Rose Windows broke up, yet their second and final album now appears on our doorstep like a baby in a basket, the self-titled album following their blissful debut, The Sun Dogs.

There’s more tension in the music this time, with chief songwriter Chris Cheveyo laying down Sabbath-like guitar riffs on Glory, Glory while lead singer Rabia Shaheen Qazi howls into the night. However, there are still beams of sunshine in their music, the sextet not losing sight of their trademark exotic flourishes on this final recording.
