Search - Missy Roback :: Just Like Breathing

Missy Roback?s debut CD features her haunting vocals and spare songwriting over psychedelic alt-country arrangements. From the droning slide mantra of "Take It Back" to the mournful elegy "Sleep with the Mermaid," Just Like Breathing draws you into a world of beauty and longing. The CD was produced by Steven Roback, whose previous band, the Rain Parade, was part of LA?s Paisley Underground and a major force in the American alternative music scene. Steven also contributed his melodic bass lines and delicate keyboard textures to the record, and co-wrote one song. Tim Mooney (American Music Club) mixed the album, and lent his percussion and engineering talents to the project. Steven?s atmospheric but understated production provides the perfect showcase for Missy?s vocals, which have been likened to Aimee Mann, Emmylou Harris, and Sandy Denny. That same understated quality extends to the songs themselves. Just Like Breathing speaks volumes in its minimalism. Intelligent, well-crafted and emotionally resonant, it?s an album that stays with you long after the last song has played.
