Hey Rosetta!














Hey Rosetta! "Into Your Lungs (And Around In Your Heart And On Through Your Blood)
" is unable to beat Marnie Stern’s "This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So It That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That" in the race for longest title on their album, but the Canadians has delivered a treat what-so-ever. "Into Your Lungs..." was released on June 3 2008, produced by Hawksley Workman.

Opener "New Goodbye" sets the tone. Alongside the tracks "There’s an Arc", "Handshake the Gangster", "A Thousand Suns", "We Made a Pact" and "Red Heart" it is still very much the first song on the album that grabs your immediate attention. Guitars, piano, violin and cello, sing-a-long choruses and a fat, solid sound are keywords describing the efforts here. "Into..." is not talking-revolution-or-a-new-world-order, but the band have put together a very good set of songs. Vocalist Tim Baker's efforts can resemble Chris Martin, however luckily lacking the latter’s sulky [and much too frequent] outbursts.

Hey Rosetta! can be checked out at Wikipedia, MySpace and their official site. (And they're here on Facebook.)
