Seeds by Hey Rosetta!

Seeds, which Sonic Records put out on February 15, 2011, was the third album from Hey Rosetta!, the seven-piece out of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, fronted by singer-songwriter Tim Baker. Tony Doogan produced it, and it's the band at its most expansive: big, surging crescendos wrapped around Baker's earnest voice, songs that start quiet and keep building until the whole room is shaking.

Baker explained the title as an image of the band itself, drifting from town to town like seeds on the wind, putting down roots here and there and trying to make something for people, and of the songs, too, as small four- and five-minute things that can take root in a listener's head and grow into something bigger. "Welcome" was the one that made it onto the alternative countdowns.
