Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Holiday in Rhode Island' serves as the third full-length output from the duo of Rose Melberg and Jen Sbragia. Recorded with intentionally sparse instrumentation, the collection relies heavily on intertwined vocal harmonies and unadorned electric guitar melodies. It stands as a pivotal document within the Pacific Northwest's independent pop circuit, capturing an intimate, DIY aesthetic.
