Museums and Women finds Josh Rouse stepping out as something of an itinerant documentarian, part songwriter and part street photographer. He captures the drifters, dreamers, and passing strangers who slip in and out of our lives, and he finds himself somewhere in the frame too. The title borrows from a John Updike book Rouse has long loved.
The songs treat ordinary human connection, and its absence, like gallery-worthy art. They range from the jangly optimism of "Spring" to the bossa nova drift of "Sunday in the Country" and the rain-soaked wandering of "Parnell Street." Rouse's narrators move through the world in transit but never lost, mapping the space between the people we long for and the people we become.
