Description
Bite Down, Rosalis Merge Records debut, captures her in the midst of a transition. I started writing the majority ofBite Downafter moving to North Carolina in the fall of 2021. The album traces two cross-country moves, including saying goodbye to my longtime home of Philadelphia, Rosali explains. I resolved to bite down on the proverbial bullet; sink my teeth into the flesh and bone of being in the world, devouring the obstacles in my path and gloriously savoring all that is on offergood and bad. Give me another serving, another moment, another challenge, give me another chance to meet life with insatiable hunger.
Bite Downfinds Rosali collaborating again with Omahas finest David Nance(bass, guitar),James Schroeder(guitar, synth),Kevin Donahue(drums, percussion), the same band she enlisted for 2021s belovedNo Medium. They are joined in-studio byDestroyercollaboratorTed Bois(keys).Bite Downshowcases the urgency and ambition in their collaborationa band pushing each other not just to expand on what theyve already done together, but to break through into altogether new territory.Bite Downwas also co-produced and mixed by Schroeder and Rosali.
Of lead single Rewind, Rosali says, I want what I do with my time to matter and to reject regret for even the difficult moments are worthy in how they reveal wisdom and initiate growth. I would do it all over again (i.e. rewind) knowing the challenges in life are not meant to be disdained, as much as the joys and pleasures are not meant to be the goal. Being present allows us to become more whole and rounded as people, with love being the way to move through. Not just the romantic kind but all the forms of love, desire and excitement that push us through to the next day.” The song is accompanied by a self-directed video.
