Retail Space are sharing their sophomore album, You Can Catch A Lobster With Eggs But Not Egg Salad. Due out this Friday, February 10th, the duo of Isabelle Burnet & Jacob Rosse have created a lush and dynamic record of transitional and contemplative analog synth pop and indie folk.
Retail Space celebrate the release of You Can Catch A Lobster With Eggs But Not Egg Salad on Wednesday, February 8th at Trans-Pecos in Queens, NY with Stolen Jars, Pop & Obachan & Crosslegged (details). The duo will head out on tour next week; complete dates below.
During this album cycle Burnet & Rosse wrote thirty-three songs. When it came time to edit down the songs to record, it became clear that the overarching motifs of the album were the reoccurring themes of water and their relationship with New York City, personified as a lover. The eleven that they chose to include on this record fit these themes the best. Once they had pieced the songs together they realized that the album told a story about an ending relationship between two lovers, one sinking into the depths of the sea and the other watching it from land. Burnet & Rosse picture themselves to be the ones sinking into the water and New York City to be the one watching from land.
