Emerging four years from the depths, Rothko returns with "Breaking Free From Then," a track that folds time, sound, and feeling into something celestial and urgent. Recognized for their signature take on melody and atmosphere, the band explodes back onto that space with a song that's as arresting as it is freeing.
"Breaking Free From Then" enchants the instant the first note sounds, and Dragging chimes shimmer like intonations drifting from another realm while lumbering, abrasive pulses carve gristle out of the mix. It's a contrast like the past and present crossing wires: moments of peace followed by bursts of something more challenging, darker, perhaps even unfinished.
"Breaking Free From Then" is a melodic line that is still urgent, as if leaning toward something out of reach. But there's no hurry, just the hypnotic ebb and flow of sound, carrying you through a place where logging time feels percolating. Rothko has always excelled in and out of the spaces between the undeclared, the unresolved, and the beautifully uncategorical, and "Breaking Free From Then" is no exception."Breaking Free From Then" is a reminder that music doesn't need to scream to be robust and that the most compelling moments often arise from silence between the notes.
