Portland’s dreamy psych band, Ezza Rose, share powerful song about addiction via Culture Collide
Portland’s dream rock / psychedelic pop band, Ezza Rose, are gearing up to release their forth album, No Means No, on September 21st. The band shares their second single, “Baby, Come Down” via Culture Collide, and shows the incredible range this album encompasses. Culture Collide says, “While the band’s previous single [“No Means No”] is a biting post-punk demand, “Baby, Come Down” is a vintage dream pop ballad, straight from that aforementioned decade [the ’60s] we love so much. More the observation than a battlecry, the tune is a stripped and wistful take on society’s obsession with distraction.”
