Rose Hotel – “Expansion”

Rose Hotel’s single “Expansion” is the first from the upcoming EP The House That We Knew, due out soon on Cold Lunch Recordings. Rose Hotel is Atlanta-based musician Jordan Reynolds, and in her latest she conjures an image of a post-apocalyptic folk future, with shades of melancholia, relief, and a resigned, reserved, yet cautious optimism.

The dreamy, introspective track features strings by Macie Stewart and Lia Kohl, as well as Rich Ruth, Chris Childs, and Breshon Martzall. The video for expansion features trapeze artist Kat Saxon and as shot by Nic Huey and directed by Rose Hotel.
