"Hey Rosetta! have always had a flair for the dramatic, and the Newfoundland six-piece sound as epic as ever on third LP Seeds. The group recruited additional string players for the recording sessions, layering these contributions repeatedly to create a faux-orchestra. The lush strings give extra heft to the group's cinematic folk rock songs, which contain everything from skanking reggae grooves ('New Sum') to Inuit throat singing ('Parson Brown') to booty-shaking, Afro-rock breakdowns ('Yer Spring'). On the cinematic 'Yer Fall,' the band follow Arcade Fire's baroque rock blueprint, and the sweeping, group-sung crescendo sounds distinctly similar to 'Wake Up.' The intricate arrangements are impressive, but the band sound best when they strip things down. Closing track 'Bandages' is a gorgeous palate cleanser, relying on little more than strummed acoustic guitar and some sparse accompaniment to convey frontman Tim Baker's heartbreaking message: 'The nothing weighs a fucking ton.' For Hey Rosetta!, bigger isn't always better."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
