VIDEO OF THE DAY — HEY ROSETTA! “NEW SUM (NOUS SOMMES)”

On Valentine’s Day, Newfoundland band Hey Rosetta! released the four-track EP Sing Sing Sessions, acoustic versions of “Young Glass,” “Welcome,” “Seventeen,” and the title song from last year’s delightful Canadian release, Seeds, which arrives on these shores on May 1. Featuring Tim Baker on vocals, piano, and guitar, Adam Hogan on guitar, John Ward on bass, Phil Maloney on drums, Kinley Dowling on violin, and Romesh Thavanathan on cello, Hey Rosetta! play melodic tales of love, birth, vegetables, the changing seasons, and the fleetingness of life. “Oh man, I hate this part / when the car sails off the bridge / Am I the knuckles white inside? / Or am I the water rushing in?” Baker asks on “Yer Spring.” “But we don’t look back, cause we don’t need that / And we’re going too fast, and we don’t want to, don’t want to crash,” he adds on “Seeds.” But they’re ready to look potential disaster straight in the face, as “Bandages” reveals: “Take these bandages off / Let me stand, let me walk / Leave these towels apart / Let me up, let me out, into the sun.” Out on the road as part of Gomez’s Quinceañera Tour, which played Bowery Ballroom on March 11, you can still catch Hey Rosetta! and Gomez on March 20 at Brooklyn Bowl.
