Loud Planes Fly Low

After the release of their fourth album, Life Like, in 2009, the Rosebuds’ future was in limbo. But it wasn’t because of label or management issues. Sadly, it was due to the failing marriage of the then husband-and-wife duo of Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard. They would soon pick up the pieces of their professional relationship, though, and begin working on a fifth record, Loud Planes Fly Low. It’s been called their more inventive effort yet as it features the Rosebuds dabbling in soul, R&B, and straightforward rock. The album is also heavy on the emotions, with both Crisp and Howard reflecting on the issues that caused their marital split.
