Still reeling from the shows with @madeofoak and @joewesterlund a couple of weeks ago.
Had the pleasure of sitting in front of @annapowelldenton ’s camera before our show at @bigearsfestival , and thought I’d share.
Grab a copy of our new record from @psychichotline from the link in my bio linktree.

@psychichotline
APLR welcomes Rosenau & Sanborn on Wednesday, March 25th. Rosenau & Sanborn is a duo composed of Chris Rosenau (Volcano Choir, Collections Of Colonies Of Bees) and Nick Sanborn (Sylvan Esso, Megafaun, Made Of Oak). The pair have been friends and collaborators for years, however it wasn’t until they played an improvised set together at 2015’s Eaux Claires music festival that they realized the potential of making a record together. “Two”, the duo’s second project together, was recorded in 2024 at Betty’s in North Carolina.
Jon Pareles of The New York Times writes, “In ‘Walrus’, the duo meshes Rosenau’s warm, leisurely acoustic guitar phrases with Sanborn’s pointillistic, stereo-hopping, pecking, swooping electronic tones. It’s as if two entirely different species have learned how to communicate.”
The song featured here is “Walrus”. Video by @annapowelldenton@psychichotline@rosno@madeofoak

NEW ALBUM: Rosenau & Sanborn - 𝙏𝙬𝙤 out March 6 on Psychic Hotline
Rosenau & Sanborn – the duo of Chris Rosenau (@rosno ) and Nick Sanborn (@madeofoak ) – announce their new record, 𝙏𝙬𝙤, and share the first single from the forthcoming LP, “Walrus.”
𝙏𝙬𝙤, their second full-length, was recorded in 2024 at Betty’s in North Carolina – a space that gave these songs room to breathe, stretch, and quietly glow. The first glimpse into this new world is “Walrus,” a track that feels both grounded and playful, intimate and wide open.
For the absorbing follow-up LP, they “unprepared,” Rosenau arriving to the sessions with a novel guitar tuning he’d never used and Sanborn with a reconfigured electronics rig that forced him to abandon old patterns. The result feels like sitting alongside two old friends as they surprise one another with unheard stories from their recent pasts and ideas for their futures.
Pressed to 12” black vinyl, Rosenau & Sanborn’s new record first arrives physically in record stores on March 6 via Psychic Hotline, with digital release date following on March 20.
We can’t wait for you to spend time with this record. And even better – you’ll be able to hear it live. A Midwestern tour this spring will culminate in a special performance at @bigearsfestival in March 2026.
▶️ Head to the Psychic Hotline link in bio to order the LP and dive into the new music.
