Rodeola dropping a new album is always a cause for celebration, so go ahead and put on a funny hat, because it’s that time my friends. Those who know, know, but in case you don’t, Rodeola (formerly known as The Hollows) is where Kate Long unleashes her poetic atmospheric songs. Sometimes solo, sometimes with a full band, the constant is Long’s unparalleled voice – a richly textured and expressive instrument that is, well, just right. The latest release Arlene is Rodeola’s fourth, and finds the sound often pushed into hazier, dirtier and reverbed out tones for an album that feels like a step away from Long’s Americana roots and into an exciting singular space.
