Dora Lee (Gravity) is Rosetta West’s Video Out Now
From the first crunch of the guitar, you know you’re in for something unfiltered.
The tone is warm and abrasive — like a tube amp pushed just to the edge of breaking — and it hums with the kind of energy that makes your chest tighten in all the right ways.
The vocals stand out immediately. There’s no polish, no auto-tuned perfection — just a real voice with texture and bite. It harks back to a time when rock wasn’t about perfection but about presence. That rough edge doesn’t just work here — it makes the track. It’s the sound of someone meaning every word they sing.
The rhythm section holds it down with a relentless drive that powers the song forward until around the 1:15 mark. Then things shift. The music opens up, offering a brief, almost weightless moment of calm — a breath held before the storm. And when the guitar solo finally arrives, it doesn’t whisper or tiptoe in. It howls. It screams with the same force as a soul shaking itself free — wild, fevered, and unforgettable.
As with everything Rosetta West does, the video doesn’t aim to impress with gloss or digital trickery. It’s gritty and grounded, filled with symbols, references to battle, and a sense of deeper, esoteric forces at play. It’s not just a video — it’s a reflection of the band’s ethos: raw truth, unfiltered rebellion, and a deep connection to the mysterious forces that shape our world.
There’s a little bit of Lemmy in the DNA here — not just musically, but in attitude. No gimmicks, no sugarcoating, just real music played with conviction. “Dora Lee (Gravity)” isn’t trying to be trendy. It’s trying to say something — and it does.
