Chicago’s underground blues-rock veterans Rosetta West return with a bold visual and sonic offering in their latest video, “Dora Lee (Gravity),” a track pulled from their forthcoming Gravity Sessions. Filmed at the iconic Gravity Studios, this new session captures the raw, impassioned edge of the band’s live energy while diving headfirst into surreal, symbolic storytelling.
“Dora Lee (Gravity)” is an unrelenting blast of hard blues rock, tinged with psychedelic overtones and a ferocious groove. The trio Joseph Demagore (vocals, guitar), Herf Guderian (bass), and Mike Weaver (drums) deliver a punchy, emotionally charged performance that doesn’t hold back. Demagore’s gravel-laced vocals and lyrical mysticism evoke a haunted, poetic aura, telling the tale of a man seduced and ultimately haunted by a fleeting supernatural presence.
The video is a strange and compelling fever dream. A militaristic figure, lost in authority and confusion, is visited by mythic feminine forces Ishtar, Hecate, Kali each embodying cosmic power and fatal attraction. It’s part mythology, part protest, part personal reckoning, and entirely mesmerizing.
Rosetta West’s “Dora Lee (Gravity)” is a rich artistic statement: gritty, thought-provoking, and sonically potent.
