Following two years of constant touring, Viva Voce’s founding members Kevin and Anita Robinson took a year off to relax and focus on side projects (ala Blue Giant). Viva Voce is back with their fifth studio album Rose City, named after their adopted hometown of Portland, OR. The album was composed, recorded and mixed in the span of a month, capturing music in the moment while allowing for playful, sonic experimentation. The result is a spontaneous effort that pulses and crackles with energy, angular guitars and catchy harmonies.
