Rosetta West’s “Dora Lee (Gravity)” is a raw, heavy blues rock track with a spiritual undercurrent that lingers well after the first listen. Recorded live at Gravity Studios in Chicago, the song captures the kind of energy that can’t be faked. There’s a clear sense this band knows exactly who they are and what they want to say. The performance is tight but not polished in a commercial way, giving space for grit and feeling to take the lead.
The band’s core, Joseph Demagore on vocals and guitar, Herf Guderian on bass, and Mike Weaver on drums, sounds locked in and confident, especially as the song leans into dark, myth-infused storytelling. The lyrics name-check figures like Ishtar and Hecate, adding weight and unease to the already stormy atmosphere.
Rosetta West is a group that’s stayed outside the mainstream by design. If “Dora Lee (Gravity)” hits you like it did me, give Rosetta West a follow. You’ll want to hear what’s next.
