Rose Hotel, the moniker of Atlanta singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jordan Reynolds, is gearing up to release her new album A Pawn Surrender on June 7 via Strolling Bones Records (pre-order). Jordan’s band for the record includes musicians who have played with S.G. Goodman, Margo Price, and more, and–after co-producing it with Atlanta engineers Damon Moon and Graham Tavel–she brought in Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, S.G. Goodman, Stella Donnelly, etc) to mix and provide additional production. (Jordan has also performed as a side musician for Faye Webster.)
We’re premiering the album’s new single “Drown,” a mix of slacker indie rock, folk, and psychedelia that kinda reminds me of the early Courtney Barnett EPs. “‘Drown’ is about facing the reality of intergenerational trauma and mental illness,” Jordan says. “It’s about realizing that the only way to break the cycle is to address it head on and choose to heal instead of continuing the patterns of violence and abuse. It’s my attempt at claiming power and ownership over my own life by releasing familial relationships that may never heal. The slacker-rock energy feels like my inner rebellious and sardonic teenager finally getting to tell ‘em how I really feel.” It comes with a video that Jordan directed and edited herself, and you can check that out below.
Rose Hotel also has tour dates coming up, including a Brooklyn show on June 7 at Purgatory with Julesy. All dates are listed below.
