Video Premiere: Under The Rose – Splash!

Musical genres are like sharks; they drown if they don’t keep moving forward. I know that is a fallacy, an oft-repeated piece of folk wisdom, which, like many such anecdotes, is not true. But as a metaphor for music, it is perfect. If music doesn’t move on, it risks drowning in a pool of its own nostalgia.

But moving forward doesn’t call for total reinvention; nothing that drastic is required. The future of music is assured by gentle evolution rather than violent revolution, and Under The Rose is the sound of that happening.

Yes, you can hear the echoes of folk past welling up in the music, the gentle acoustic rhythms, the mournful strings, the sense of pathos and passion, but this is nothing if not a forward-thinking song. It takes those old folk allies’ spirituality, mystique, philosophy, and otherworldly forces. It brings them into the modern age, reminding us that such spiritual quests, searches for understanding, and deep dives into what lies beyond are as relevant today as they always have been.

Cinematic and beautiful, full of pathos and mysticism, it is a song that acknowledges the past yet allows itself to drift, dreamlike, into the dawn of a bright new folk future.
