Sower Of Wind

About

ROSETTA returned in 2017 with Utopioid, their sixth full-length album and most concept-driven work to date, an intersection of heaviness and beauty. "Sower of Wind“ is an EP built on soundscapes buried inside Utopioid – elements which the band thought deserved a fuller treatment. „Those soundscapes developed with a concept and a story in mind, but we decided to step back from them and see where they could lead when considered on their own terms“, guitarist Matt Weed explain. "Sower of Wind“ isn’t a companion record to Utopioid per se, but shares the same four-part cyclic structure, referencing season, cardinal direction, times of day. Each track draws inspiration and source material from the corresponding quadrant of Utopioid, but uses it to tell a different story. It’s a more peaceful, primordial listen than its older brother, without vocals or percussion, drawing tension from the interplay of acoustic instruments and washed-out drone. It’s great turned up loud, and even better on headphones in the dark. .
