Rockie Rode
Twilit Americana and dream-pop built around Cate Osborne’s dusky voice
Based in New York City, United States
Osborne sings in a low, dusky register over twanging guitars, hazy synths, fuzzy reverb and steady Velvet Underground-style chug. Expect a full-band rendering of Rockie: restrained and nocturnal, with shoegaze distortion surfacing around the album’s country inflections.
More about Rockie Rode
Rockie Rode comes from New York’s AM Radio Collective, working alongside Izzy Goldbow and Samba Jean-Baptiste. Osborne produced throughout her 13-track debut Rockie, turning its title persona into a vehicle for songs about romance, fame and bruised glamour.
A story
During quarantine, Osborne recorded in the basement of her grandmother's house and called it the best place she had ever recorded.
