Rose’s third album, Cazimi, is scheduled for release in November. And it’s all put together with lyrics that manage to convey common experience in a way that is striking in its simple, straightforward invention: “Tried to be just like water to the touch/ Take you everywhere you wanna be/ Wash away what’s hurting you so much/ What’s haunting you is always haunting me.” The text, friends, is rich. “Black Obsidian” is a proper reassertion, showcasing Rose’s expert melding of country twang with the fullness of Americana rock. The decade-spanning drought ended this week when a new song from Rose rained down. I’d check what she was up to every once in a while and feel a tang of disappointment that her discography remained stagnant. In the time since, though, it’s grown on me considerably, the clarity of Rose’s songwriting and the potency of her performance steadily moving it past other albums I was more generous towards at the time. It’s been nearly ten years since I reviewed Caitlin Rose’s sophomore LP, The Stand-In.
