    Today, after a string of critically-acclaimed single releases accounting for millions of Spotify streams and an album of haunting cover tunes, Nashville-based, mood-altering singer and songwriter Molly Parden returns with a brand new EP, Rosemary. Rosemary\u2019s six tracks\u2014the largest collection of songs Parden has released since her 2011 debut Time Is Medicine\u2014weave effortlessly between worlds of pop, folk, string-scapes, and warbly lo-fi filters to make a tidy bed for Parden\u2019s gilded voice and heart wrenching songs to melt into.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Ahead of its release, Rosemary received accolades from the likes of Forbes<\/a>, who said of Parden\u2019s patient writing process, \u201cThis slow creative philosophy serves her; the kind of emotional work that must be done in an album such as Rosemary cannot be expedited,\u201d and Paste<\/a>, who shared Parden\u2019s \u201cKitchen Table\u201d video, saying \u201c\u2018Kitchen Table\u2019 has the lush, unhurried sway of a Faye Webster (whose backing band Parden once played in) tune and the delicate vocals of your favorite indie-folk singer.\u201d In addition to adding Parden to their list of 40 Best New Bands Of 2020<\/a>, Stereogum<\/a> also suggested that \u201cif called upon, she could just as easily become a fourth member of boygenius or ghostwrite for Natalie Prass,\u201d and Gorilla vs. Bear<\/a> called \u201cWho Are We Kiddin\u201d an \u201ceffortless, timeless-but-unmistakably-modern union of swooning R&B, heartfelt indie-folk, and twinkling, string-laden classic pop.\u201d With critics already on board, now it\u2019s the fans\u2019 turn to finally get a taste of Parden\u2019s patiently crafted and awaited Rosemary.

    Rosemary is rich with light-handed touches from Parden and producers Juan Solorzano and Zachary Dyke. From the throbbing electric piano chords and reedy horn flourishes of \u201cWho Are We Kiddin\u2019\u201d to the slow burn of \u201cThese Are The Times,\u201d the care taken to present each song in its most pristine form is on the same focal plane as the songs themselves. \u201cThe guys and I set out to make each song sound as beautiful, sad, and lonely as the day I first sang them,\u201d says Parden. \u201cPrecise sounds with intentionality and plenty of space,\u201d she calls it. \u201cThese Are The Times\u201d closes out Rosemary with the same intimate pulse in which \u201cFeel Alive Again\u201d begins it\u2014Parden calls the latter \u201ca hymn\u201d and \u201ca plea for peace.\u201d \u201cI Know You Can\u201d may be the single-most devastating song Parden has ever shared with the world. \u201cThis song depicts the crippling heartache that I felt following the ending of a relationship that I thought would last the test of time,\u201d recalls Parden. \u201cThese were moments of bittersweet tenderness as I tried to let go of everything. I couldn\u2019t listen to this song without crying for months.\u201d Her sentiment comes across deeply clear in the pleading chorus: I know you\u2019re strong enough to be my man. You may think you can\u2019t. But I know you can.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    For all its unapproachable beauty, the heart of Parden\u2019s music is humble and profoundly human. They are songs that remind us that heartbreak isn\u2019t simply another marketable human emotion, but is more like a familiar place\u2014a sacred space within all of us. It makes listening to Rosemary feel like falling into a dream or a distant memory; a beautiful reminder of something we\u2019ve known all along.<\/div>\n
