ALBUM REVIEW: Rosetta West – ‘Labyrinth’

Having been working together since the 90s, turning out some brilliantly rich and captivating delights during that time, Chicago-based blues-rockers Rosetta West have always looked to incorporate a more diverse appeal into their sound. Whether it’s venturing down a psychedelic avenue or pursuing a more pensive atmosphere in which to explore, their style has always maintained this unpredictable and enigmatic approach to it. And now they look to continue on that adventurous path with their latest studio album ‘Labyrinth’.

Establishing a brilliantly dense and textured aesthetic in which to develop for their newest outing, ‘Labyrinth’ sees them returning to the fold in fine form throughout. Keeping the aura of this new collection as dark and haunted as possible as they move effortlessly through this immersive run of groove-filled anthems, their latest offering not only builds upon their dynamic repertoire over the last few decades, but also heightens their varied take on the blues-rock genre as well.

Always ones to find and cultivate refreshing ideas in which to call their own, ‘Labyrinth’ sees them unveil one of their most absorbing releases to date. With this brilliantly controlled focus over their tantalising style, Rosetta West continue their explorative journey with finesse and aplomb at every turn.
