After a brief dalliance in the world of electro-pop on last year’s Night of the Furies, The Rosebuds have gone and pulled out their guitars again. While the shape-shifting duo out of North Carolina has never made the same album twice, the jangly guitars and breezy songwriting will certainly sound familiar to fans of the band’s earlier work. What is new this time around is a sort of new-wavey gloom that recalls bands like Psychedelic Furs on “Border Guards” and the album’s title track. Yet Life Like is certainly no depressing affair, as songs like “Bow to the Middle” are filled with punchy boy/girl vocal interplay, handclaps, and a toe-tapping dance beat.
