We don’t want to alarm anybody…but today is the last day to submit considerations for the 2025 Grammy Awards. Congrats to everyone who made the deadline, good luck to those still watching the clock and waiting on the latest batch of masters, and condolences to anyone who plain spaced on the date.
Those in that first category find themselves in good company with David Rosenblad. Which makes sense, since David’s what you’d call “hip to the industry”; on top of his status as a longtime Austin mainstay multi-instrumentalist-singer-songwriter-producer, Rosenblad’s also an accomplished TV-film composer and sound designer, not to mention co-founder of Lotus Rose Healing Arts Center, and owner of both DRM: Sir Reel Sound and local studio Thirteenth Moon. And it’s through Thirteenth Moon (which doubles as a label) that David Rosenblad’s set to break a near-half-decade release hiatus with his next album The Sound and the Meaning.
But back to the Grammys…This morning David Rosenblad enhanced his chances with The Sound and the Meaning‘s first two lead singles: “Enough is Enough” and “Like a Sagittarian Archer”. On the latter, Rosenblad adds some healthy horns to the horoscope thanks to trumpeter Wyatt Corder of Big Wy’s Brass Band and Sir Woman for a truly lively effect. Yeah “Like a Sagittarian Archer” hits a bullseye with ’70s-esque energy reminiscent of Stealer’s Wheel and Harry Nilsson.
Grammy worthy? Without getting specific with categories, we’d like to think so.
