{"product_id":"two","title":"Two","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter nearly 20 years of knowing one another, the collaboration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebetween Nick Sanborn and Chris Rosenau seemed inevitable but \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eended up accidental, an Eaux Claires music-festival lark that had \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eimmediate chemistry. As they were rehearsing, they realized they \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewere already making a record. They kept the working mixes and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etitles, as well as the bird songs and traffic sounds that drifted into the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emicrophones. The result was 2019's Bluebird, a little five-track \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewonder that made you feel like you were sitting in the room between \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethem, smiling as they found their wordless rapport. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo years later, Rosenau (Volcano Choir, Collections of Colonies of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBees) and Sanborn (Sylvan Esso, Made of Oak) got together again. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey had fun during round two, but the sessions were neither as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecarefree as that first attempt nor more focused in a way that felt \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecompelling and new. The pair shelved those pieces to try again when \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe time seemed right. Then there was a pandemic. There were tours. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere were other records. There was life at large. By the time \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRosenau ventured back to Betty's (Sylvan Esso's studio in the North \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCarolina woods) to try again, four years had flashed past. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth Sanborn and Rosenau came prepared this time by, well, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eun-preparing. Rosenau borrowed an unconventional guitar tuning \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehe'd never tried (DAEAC#D) from a friend. And Sanborn dismantled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehis live Sylvan Esso rig, rearranged it, and added new bits, hoping to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eeschew any muscle memory for a real-time exchange. They instantly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eknew it was working, with none of the past's second-guessing in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etow. On that first day, a Thursday, they made \"Ghost Sub\" and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Harm.\" On that second day, they had a false start with a piece \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecalled \"Kay,\" Sanborn's synths not quite fitting beneath Rosenau's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eriff, before moving on to make \"Deltas.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUPC: 850068258581\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenau \u0026 Sanborn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48421699289339,"sku":null,"price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0431\/2606\/3262\/files\/Rosenau_Sanborn-two.jpg?v=1773415473","url":"https:\/\/rustandwax.com\/products\/two","provider":"Rust \u0026 Wax Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
