Rosemary Krust

Rosemary Krust are William Hardy and Katherine Plummer of Baltimore, MD. The band formed in February 2007 with the recording of the self-released CD-R "The First Two Weeks". The first release explores free form dissonance, collage, and occasionally some underlying primitive song structure. Later in 2007 Rosemary Krust released a 7" on Baltimore label Spleencoffin. The sound of the 7" jettisoned most of the more exploratory aspects of their first CD-R in favour of minimalism and delicacy. The 7" garnered press attention with some comparisons to Charalambides, His Name is Alive, Dead C, and Garbage & The Flowers.
In 2008 the band released "Slow Light" in an edition of 45 CD-R copies through MT6 Records and Spleencoffin. "Slow Light" incorporated the approaches of their two previous releases with a slightly larger palette, it was chosen by Baltimore City Paper as #7 best local album in their 2008 year end list. Next came another 7" in 2009, "Bernt Anker", released on Dull Knife, and a split cassette with Banana Head on Goaty Tapes in 2010. Rosemary Krust continues to explore concepts of catharsis and introspection with their "free-twee" music.
