New York, NY (Top40 Charts) After working in privacy for years in Austin, London, and now Brooklyn, Seth Rosson has emerged with a new Self-Titled EP inspired by minimal melodies and bare beats that seem to stick to you long after the first listen. Rosson E.P. is a strong, and impressive first release, portraying the universal feeling of trying to let go, whilst still holding on.
Seth has spent the last 11 years in Austin, with the exception of 2 in London for an MA in Sociology at Goldsmiths. As Seth explains below, he wanted to put a lot of himself into his first release:
�I�ve always been drawn to the subtle and understated quality of music in the UK, and moving to London was a big influence on me both personally and musically. I�ve been working on music since I was 16, but only more seriously the last 6-7 years, with 2-3 unreleased projects before this one. In July, I moved to Bushwick, Brooklyn, where I�ve started working on new music that I look forward to sharing in the fall. I also make minimal techno/drone music on the side.
I wanted to make this project as representative of myself, and as bare, as possible. Every part, every bar had to justify itself. I�m a graphic designer, and a fan of �minimalism�. I think that less is more. It can be easy, and tempting, to throw things in, but it�s hard to show restraint, and hold yourself accountable for every decision. In the end, I think it makes for a more interesting song. Topically, this was about relationships. Trying to let go, whilst still holding on, and the inner dialogue that follows, as you struggle between the two.�
