I absolutely love her song "Take Some Time". Once I get a bit of spare change, I'm sure I'll be picking the album up. I live in Seattle but I don't think I'll be able to go to her gathering, but would you tell her I and KR say hi? Thanks so much.

She was baking the cookies last night! Here is something from pitchfork:
Rose Melberg Shares Second Solo LP, Tiny Tour

Matthew Solarski reports:
Sure, April showers bring May flowers, but they're all weeds compared to the sonic fragrance of Miss Rose Melberg. The ex-Softie and former lead of indie-pop darlings Tiger Trap and Go Sailor, Melberg released her debut solo record, Portola, in 1998. After the Softies disbanded in 2001, Rose pretty much vanished for awhile, moving to Canada, starting a family, and probably doing a whole lot of gardening and embroidery. She reemerged just last year with a short U.S. tour and hints of a new record. Well hold on to your anoraks, kids: Rose's springtime full-length treat is nearly here.

Come April 25, Double Agent Records will release Cast Away the Clouds, and a thousand twee kids the world over will turn pink with glee. The twelve-track affair features Rose Melberg's most mature and accomplished songwriting to date. For serious, these cuts run deep:

01 Take Some Time
02 The Orchard
03 Cold Sea
04 Cast Away the Clouds
05 Irene
06 Spin
07 Little Bird
08 Something Else
09 Four Walls
10 Constant and True
11 Your Tears
12 Each New Day

Rose has fashioned a wee 'lil bi-coastal tour itinerary surrounding the release of Cast Away the Clouds. She'll be joined onstage by Andrea Vaughn, formerly of new-wavers My Favorite, for both New York shows. Melberg has also hand-sewn special bags to sell at her shows, and Pacific Northwest indie barometer Three Imaginary Girls will share punch and cookies with Seattle show-goers, all of which is both adorable and twee as fuck.

I didn't attend, but she said "The cookies were a hit and everyone loves the bags."
