Rosemary & Garlic

Rosemary & Garlic are the Dutch duo of singer/guitarist Anne van den Hoogen and keyboardist/guitarist Dolf Smolenaers. Together, they make tranquil, lilting indie folk with a melancholy air. Mixed by Smolenaers, they self-released their first EP, The Kingfisher, in 2015. Over the months that followed, its song "Old Now" accumulated millions of plays at streaming sites, and the EP became a folk best-seller on Bandcamp. With van den Hoogen also recording atmospheric electropop as a member of Habitants, and Smolenaers working with post-punk revivalists Silent Runners and electro-R&B outfit TIAN, their full-length debut, titled simply Rosemary & Garlic, followed in early 2018 on Nettwerk. ~ Marcy Donelson
