I first fell in love with Rosali’s songs for this reason, the way her
work takes you straight to that brave and big-hearted dream within songwriting.
Every song stands strongly as it’s very own world, well-worn by the
history of the underground but accessible as daylight. 
-Meg Baird, Spring 2018 

...Rosalis wide-ranging solo project is harder to pin down as she navigates
late-night Laurel Canyon-style fare, country-tinged ballads and moody soft-rock
with an ear for piercing textures that give her easygoing songs an unexpected
weight.... - NPR 

Trouble Anyway (a co-release from Scissor Tail Records and the newly formed
Spinster Sounds) doesn’t disappoint after its powerful opener. Bolstered
by an all-star cast of Philadelphia-adjacent musicians (including Mary Lattimore
the War On Drugs’ Charlie Hall and Purling Hiss’ Mike Polizze),
the LP’s nine tracks soar and shimmer, whether on slow-burn ballads like
“Dead and Gone” or churning rockers like “Rise To Fall.”
Wherever Rosali goes, you’re going to want to follow. - Aquarium Drunkard


Philadelphia-based musician Rosali (Long Hots, Wandering Shade) wrote the songs
for her second album, Trouble Anyway, seeking empowerment by sharing openly on
love, power, aging, suffering, confusion, self-doubt, and anger. Resulting in a
full-bodied record that is at once sweeping and intimate. A vulnerable and
powerful exploration of emotional narratives, Trouble Anyway showcases her
background in diverse musical styles from free improv, garage rock, country,
pop, to folk-infused song-craft. Following up her 2016 debut Out of Love
(Siltbreeze), named one of the top 100 records of 2016 by Uncut Magazine,
Trouble Anyway is a cohesive collection of lush, intimate rock songs, featuring
her warm, natural vocals and powerful riffing and rhythm guitar, approaching the
sublime when Rosali finds expression beyond lyricism, utilizing her voice as a
human instrument. 

Backed by A-list musician friends, the collective instrumentation simultaneously
accentuates Rosali’s singular sound and magnifies its orbit. Trouble
Anyway is both otherworldly and straight-forward. Lyrical and wordless
intensity, alongside intuitive musical arrangements, make for a powerful
sophomore release. With collaborations from musician friends - Nathan Bowles
(Steve Gunn, Black Twig Pickers), Dan Provenzano (Writhing Squares, Purling
Hiss), Mary Lattimore, Paul Sukeena (Angel Olsen, Spacin’), Charlie Hall
(The War on Drugs), Mike Polizze (Purling Hiss), Mike Sobel (Oldermost), and
Gretchen Lohse (Carol Cleveland Sings)—Trouble Anyway was recorded and
mixed by Uniform Recording’s Jeff Zeigler, who has also engineered
records for The War on Drugs, Allison Crutchfield (also of Waxahatchee), and
Kurt Vile, among others.
