When the Roses Come Again is a studio album by American musician Daniel Bachman, released on November 17, 2023, through Three Lobed Recordings.
[1] Uncut stated that the album "feels like something impossibly ancient, sent back to us from some distant future",[4] while Mojo described it as "progressive conceptual art, underpinned with profound personal resonances".
[3] The Wire felt that "where Vernon's album For Emma, Forever Ago registers like a melancholic exorcism of listless youth and failed relationships, Bachman does not engage in that kind of soul searching, though he elicits a similarly potent emotional response".
[5] Pitchfork's Philip Sherburne found it to be "less turbulent" than Bachman's recent work as his "focus has returned to the sounds of his guitar and banjo, which weave, snakelike, through shimmering fields of harmonium and electronic squeal".
Sherburne remarked that "there are no real songs to speak of—just scenes, which flow together as seamlessly as fields glimpsed from the window of a moving train.
