Chicago-based Royal Osprey strives to make the interesting sad, and the sad interesting. Slow, melodic guitars intertwining with drones, electronic flourishes, and long, drawn out vocals are the band's forte. Never one to play the same way twice, the band constantly changes instruments, lineups, and styles in an everlasting quest for some beautiful, depressing grooves.

I'm listening to Warped Moon and it's making me think that I'd like to wander around a foreign city, or even my own, for a day, listening to Royal Osprey so I can just float, and see life in this dreamy, gauzy haze. ...yes.
Thanks for your nice comment. I look forward to being in Chicago again soon and will let you know when I am.
Same to you, you beautiful creature of doom! I had a blast, and all of us here were blown away by both your sets, and how sweet and gracious you all are. Definitely come back soon. You will always have friends here from now on. *kisses* -T&T
