Captains of Entropy Launch Into the Unknown With “Rosetta”
West Los Angeles trio Captains of Entropy are expanding their world with “Rosetta,” an instrumental standout from their new digital EP, Beatrice Comes Home, accompanied by a music video that turns the track’s restless energy into a handmade journey through space.
Made up of Mike Kanon on keys, Reilly Wareham on bass, and Jason Young on drums, Captains of Entropy formed during the pandemic through weekly jam sessions built around improvisation. That foundation remains central to “Rosetta.” Rather than following an obvious verse-chorus structure, the track moves with the natural momentum of three musicians reacting to one another in real time.
“Rosetta” carries a warm, distinctly retro character, balancing laid-back grooves with a sense of constant movement. Kanon’s keys bring color and atmosphere to the arrangement, while Wareham and Young build a rhythmic foundation that feels loose without ever losing control. There are traces of '70s experimentation throughout, but the trio avoids simply recreating the era. Instead, they use that influence as a jumping-off point for something more exploratory and cinematic.
Named after the Rosetta space mission, the track finds its perfect counterpart in the accompanying visual. Directed in part by Matthew Mourgides, the video begins inside Young’s house before launching the band into a deliberately DIY universe filled with cardboard artwork, homemade costumes, practical sets, and a spaceship built inside a friend’s garage.
The contrast works. The polished Earth sequences represent routine, while the handcrafted space scenes feel increasingly imaginative and unrestricted. With no lyrics guiding the narrative, the music becomes its own language, carrying three musicians from everyday repetition toward something stranger, bigger, and entirely their own.
With “Rosetta,” Captains of Entropy prove that sometimes the most interesting destination is the one you never planned on reaching.
