Includes Washed Away CD Album Special Edition 2 x Exclusive Washed Away PostcardsEven in the rumorfueled Hollywood scene, Robert Schwartzman is surprisingly good at keeping secrets. We havenrsquot heard much from Schwartzmanrsquos band Rooney the past six years since the grouprsquos 2010 album Eureka, but his radio silence meant nothing. Because unbeknownst to his fans, this LAbased musician and Rooney frontman has been quietly working on brandnew material. After keeping things under wraps for years, this summer Schwartzman is going public with Rooneyrsquos newest album, Washed Away. In many ways, the fourth record under Rooney represents the bandrsquos next act as an allinclusive solo project. To call it a labor of love is a serious understatement. Schwartzman wrote, produced, and performed all of the songs himself, holed up in his home studio and making hundreds of tweaks along the way. ldquoI learned that if you keep pushing yourself then maybe something better can happen,rdquo he says of the painstaking process making the album. ldquoI feel like if therersquos still potential to do it better, then I would rather work on it than call it a day.rdquo Rather than succumb to the pressures of todayrsquos the nearconstant album release cycles, Schwartzman instead intends to make something tangible and longlasting. Consider this a refreshing antidote to the disposable pop music machine. Rooney Postcards is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £10
