Poolside by Ezza Rose
“Poolside” takes the listener down into the depths of an abandon swimming pool room, hidden in the basement of one of Portland’s historic, downtown hotels. With floor to ceiling tile and an empty concrete pool, the natural sound and acoustics of this room are stunning. Inspired by the sound of the room, Rose decided to record a live album in the space, hence the album name “Poolside”. To minimize interruption from the Max and Streetcars above, Rose and a small crew recorded “Poolside” in the quiet hours, starting at 11pm and ending the sessions around 7am. All of the reverb and sounds that you hear on “Poolside” are untampered with and completely raw. Lance Andrew Leonnig, recording engineer and current bassist for the Ezza Rose Band, captured perfectly the magic of this unique space and its undeniable compatibility with Rose’s haunting voice.

“The progression from folk to something more closely resembling rock has been organic and fluid like the rest of her history, but she is not without a significant amount of stubborn drive. This latest change is just another indicator that Rose is, above all, a consummate musician.” - Anchorage Press
