​Libby Rodenbough (from the album Spectacle of Love available on Sleepy Cat Records)
The music becomes mystical when Libby Rodenbough’s voice weaves around a haunted bass line, trudging over the noir melodies of “Hey Buddy” and stepping around the sharp string plucks of “Country Jam”. Finding the magic in the music is second nature to Libby Rodenbough, a path she has walked as one-quarter of the North Carolina sting band, Mipso. Her recent release, Spectacle of Love, expands on the soundscape Libby uses to back her voice and fiddle, adding electric guitar and piano to the music that backs her songwriting. 
 
The mixture of ethereal vocals and delicate melodies puts the Spectacle of Love front-of-the-line for Sunday morning album listens. Libby Rodenbough lazily asks “How Can You Call Me” as the beat bubbles underneath her words, quieting to continue her questioning in the Rickie Lee Jones-influenced “Tell Me How” and finding footing on the woozy notes of “What Do You Mean”. Libby Rodenbough dances with spirits in her music, foregoing a brand as she shuffles sound through a shifting kaleidoscope of styles across Spectacle of Love, her songs finding peers in diverse camps from the Indie Rock of The National to the Folk Americana of Patty Griffith. Libby Rodenbough is “The Gatekeeper” on a strict rhythm, the guide to “The Other Side” with a slight accent of Country, playing host to “The Kitchen” on a Jazz-dosed Folk ramble ala Tim Buckley and painting instruction from her own past into the advice of “Colors”.
