Rosetta West haul the cosmos down to the barroom on 'Dora Lee (Gravity)'

Rosetta West have never been shy about blurring the line between back-alley blues and interstellar psychedelia, but their latest single 'Dora Lee (Gravity)' feels like a new apex of that collision. Pulled from the Gravity Sessions song-cycle, the track roars out of the gate with a low-slung, tar-thick riff and a rhythm section that stomps like heavy machinery hitting wet pavement.

Frontman Joseph Demagore sings as if conjuring a ghost he half-fears and half-adores. Meanwhile, guitarist Tobi Adenaike (whose fingerprints are all over the band’s recent work) threads wiry slide runs through the fuzz, turning familiar blues shapes into something faintly radioactive. By the two-minute mark you realise the song isn’t building toward a tidy chorus so much as spiralling toward some ritual climax.

The companion video matches the vibe, combining grainy footage with arcane iconography and military hardware, like a midnight broadcast from a forgotten Cold War bunker. It’s kitsch and menace in equal measure, and it underscores the band’s knack for making classic rock signifiers feel occult again.

If the 'Gravity Sessions' project hinted that Rosetta West were tightening their focus, 'Dora Lee (Gravity)' confirms they’ve found a sweet spot that's heavy enough to rattle glass and strange enough to sidestep nostalgia.
