Hey! Rosetta is releasing a new album called Quintessential Ephemera on July 3, because fuck having a record label. The new song is untitled, as are the rest of the songs on the album, and has a very unique sound to it. Like the band just sort of threw caution to the wind and decided to that post-hardcore/sludge thing on their own terms. Fun fact- it worked out beautifully so far!
Arctic Drones, the website who posted the song, interviewed the group as well about the new record. One of the more interesting answers was why all the songs on the new record are untitled. So said guitarist Matt Weed-
It was a decision we made after recording them. They all had working titles to refer to them easily, but those were all jokes (we’ve always done this). It was more that any titles we came up with felt overly contrived and like they would unnaturally color the experience of listening to those songs. We wanted them just to speak for themselves, and to be seen as part of a larger work, not just a collection of individual pieces. The album has a very definite core concept – dealing with the way we live disembodied through technology, hyper-focused on pointless minutiae while the world is sinking around us – but we didn’t want to beat people over the heads with that.
At least it's not pretentious and naming all the songs these horribly long titles and splitting everything into seventeen movements. Fuck record labels, fuck song titles, fuck everything! Except this Rosetta record.
