We had the pleasure of interviewing Roses & Revolutions over Zoom video!\xa0
Indie-pop duo Roses & Revolutions has just unveiled \u2018Midnight Monsters,\u2019 their gorgeous and expansive new EP, out today via Nettwerk Records. Glide Magazine\xa0premiered\xa0the EP\u2019s final single \u201cWhen The Moment\u2019s Gone\u201d this week, calling it \u201ca scorching, boot-stomping rock anthem that is soulful and hard-hitting.\u201d \u201c'When The Moment\u2019s Gone' is about the sickening realization that something really important has just passed you by,\u201d the band explains. \u201cIt\u2019s about reliving that feeling daily. You\u2019re on repeat. This is the only song on the EP that we were able to 'test out' at live shows. The audience\u2019s reaction and excitement really pushed us to record it, and it was actually the first song we finished for the EP.\u201d

The songs on \u2018Midnight Monsters\u2019 were written in the middle of the night, in the strange hours before dawn when the world seems to stand still. There\u2019s a quality of magical realism in each of the six tracks, where synth and analog sounds mix to create something otherworldly. But the album could only have been written during this past year, as the world experienced a collective warping of time and place. Inspired by the dystopian quality of quarantine and the emotional demons that hit hardest at night, the band created a sweeping album that blurs fantasy and reality with a sense of timelessness and escape that unfolds like a short film noir.

The premiere of \u201cWhen The Moment\u2019s Gone\u201d followed the release of the EP\u2019s lead single \u201cLower Than Low,\u201d featuring gorgeous, stacked harmonies that beautifully captured the utter stillness found in day\u2019s earliest hours.

Roses & Revolutions is comprised of longtime collaborators Alyssa Coco (vocals) and Matt Merritt (guitar). Based in Rochester, NY, they first connected through music, playing in various bands together until it became apparent that there was a special creative alchemy between the two. They gained traction with their hit single \u201cThe Pines,\u201d leading to 11 million+ streams, a headlining tour, and syncs from Netflix, ABC, NBC, and more. But when lockdown threatened to deflate the momentum they had built, the duo took the opportunity to explore a new way of making music, turning their dark experience into a thing of beauty.\xa0
