ROSETTA WEST
New Rosetta West Video “Dora Lee (Gravity)”
Rosetta West has put out their latest single, “Dora Lee (Gravity),” and it is an intriguing addition to their sizable catalog. The track is part of their upcoming work, “Gravity Sessions,” which sees the band in live, raw recordings at the renowned Gravity Studios in Chicago.
“Dora Lee (Gravity)” has everything Rosetta West fans have grown to love — gritty blues rock, mystical lyricism, and an undercurrent of storytelling. The song dives headfirst into the story of a man wracked with anguish over a fleeting but life-altering liaison with a supernatural lover. It’s a topic that comes as naturally to the band as their enduring interest in the mystical and the supernatural.
The video is as captivating and compelling as the song itself. The viewer is observing a surrealist story unfolding before them, where the narrator is depicted as a troubled military leader, wracked with fierce female goddesses like Ishtar, Hecate, and Kali. The images here only scratch the surface on the deep levels of symbolism, elevating the story to mythological heights.
Joseph Demagore is the vocalist and guitarist and is supported by bassist Herf Guderian and veteran Rosetta West drummer Mike Weaver. They play with a propulsive energy that is timely yet timeless.
With “Dora Lee (Gravity),” Rosetta West shows yet again why they remain one of the most fascinating of the current crop of underground bands. The new video is exciting, challenging, and a must-watch for blues rock fans with a spiritual outlook.
