San Francisco band Magic Magic Roses are gearing up for their third album entitled Dusk, out December 2nd via Plume Records. Continuing their sound of dreamy alt-folk, the group have shared the title track to the LP. Easing and delicate, the open production of floating instrumentation is like musical cleansing as Magic Magic Roses manage to fill the space with just enough to rope you in without any forceful attempts.

Touching on the forthcoming album, member Sarah Simon wrote:

“Dusk is our fullest, most layered recording to date. It’s still super warm and heavy on harmonies like our previous album Valley, but there’s more drums and bass, and it has some really special contributions from Bill Patton on pedal steel, Lena Simon (of La Luz, Kairos) on percussion, keyboard, and backup vocals, and Morgan Henderson (of Fleet Foxes) on flute and stand up bass. We were making a concerted effort to write songs that were more lively and optimistic, but ended up on the dark side from time to time, as we are prone to do. We had a range of moods to work with, so we organized the songs in an arc from sunrise to sunset: the album starts off on an upbeat note with “You And I” and ends up with the sleepiest, darkest song ‘Dusk’. It’s a funny sort of return to our roots – writing dark love songs. But the album is also very much about reckoning with growing up, moving on, staying put or letting go – and there’s both lightness and darkness in that process.”
