Rosetta West’s latest single, “Circle of Doubt“, was released just in time for the Celtic holy day of Beltane. The track is based on hypnotic, repetitive blues guitar riffs that give the track a deeply contemplative and perhaps even a little melancholy feel. The song lyrically tells the story of a desperate struggle to break free from a ‘circle of doubt’ after a severe spiritual battle, a theme that fits well with the band’s penchant for mysticism and spirituality.
Rosetta West is a blues rock band from Illinois and while they always add a little psychedelia and world folk music to their sound, “Circle of Doubt” is no exception. Vocals, guitars, and keyboards are handled by Joseph Demagore, who also adds bass and keyboard work to the mix, along with Jason X, who has handled production since the “Labyrinth” album and the production is crisp, allowing each layer of the song to shine.
Their extensive discography is a treasure trove for those willing to explore beyond the mainstream. “Circle of Doubt” is a testament to their artistry and their ability to make music that is both personal and universal.
