WAKE/LIFT
'''Wake/Lift''' is the second full-length album by art-metal band Rosetta. The band is currently aiming at an October 2nd release through Translation Loss Records on both CD and a limited-edition double LP.
This album is the first to not be entirely engineered by the band. It is also Rosetta's first to be recorded to analog tape. Consequently, the production on ''Wake/Lift'' is more refined than the band's previous works. The cover artwork was designed by Paul Romano of Mastodon art fame.[3]

Style
Guitarist J. Matthew Weed has stated that the band has taken on a more melodic, technical, and experimental sound. Rather than sounding entirely like the metal style of ''The Galilean Satellites'', ''Wake/Lift'' falls more into the post-rock genre while retaining space rock and hardcore influences.
Lyrically and thematically, the album deals much less with astronomical concepts and is more influenced by vocalist Mike Armine's experiences as a teacher. He states,
Release
Months before the album's release, the band had been performing "Red in Tooth and Claw" at live show as far back as April 2007.[4]
The track "Wake" was posted on the MySpace for Translation Loss Records in a low-quality format on August 17, 2007, and again later on Rosetta's own MySpace on August 19, 2007.
According to news updates on Rosetta's MySpace, another disc, entitled ''The Cleansing Undertones of Wake/Lift'', will be released alongside ''Wake/Lift''. It contains a collection of ambient samples used by Armine. It is, however, not meant to be synchronized with ''Wake/Lift'' (as ''The Galilean Satellites'' was); Armine "purposely designed ''The Cleansing Undertones of Wake/Lift'' to make ''Wake/Lift'' sound terrible if played together".
