Includes:- Washed Away Vinyl LP (w/ CD Insert)- 2 x Exclusive Washed Away PostcardsEven in the rumor-fueled Hollywood scene, Robert Schwartzman is surprisingly good at keeping secrets. We havent heard much from Schwartzmans band Rooney the past six years (since the groups 2010 album Eureka), but his radio silence meant nothing. Because unbeknownst to his fans, this LA-based musician and Rooney frontman has been quietly working on brand-new material. After keeping things under wraps for years, this summer Schwartzman is going public with Rooneys newest album, Washed Away. In many ways, the fourth record under Rooney represents the bands next act: as an all-inclusive solo project. To call it a labor of love is a serious understatement. Schwartzman wrote, produced, and performed all of the songs himself, holed up in his home studio and making hundreds of tweaks along the way. I learned that if you keep pushing yourself then maybe something better can happen, he says of the painstaking process making the album. I feel like if theres still potential to do it better, then I would rather work on it than call it a day. Rather than succumb to the pressures of todays the near-constant album release cycles, Schwartzman instead intends to make something tangible and long-lasting. Consider this a refreshing antidote to the disposable pop music machine.
