Seth is a songwriter and producer who was a member of the indie rock band Gingersol, with whom he logged thousands of miles and dozens of dollars. He also produced, recorded and mixed their 3 critically acclaimed, full-length albums. Since their conclusion in 2005, he has been producing other artists and scoring for tv and film, and occasionally touring with friends' bands. Last year he formed a new band, Quarry Hill, who have just completed their debut recording. Songs Seth produced are on this page. Seth also wrote a couple of songs that will be on Angela McCluskey's next record.
Gingersol songs on this myspace page feature the late, great Drew Glackin.
Seth misses Drew Glackin, but knows that he is lurking about in that Elton John video, if MTV would just play it.

SONGS
re: PLEASE LET ME GO"Please Let Me Go," with its unabashed sorrow and flute-styled synths, sounds like Paul McCartney singing "Fool on the Hill," a haunting and beautiful example of Gingersol at their most expressive. The instrumentation shifts from stark to lush as the tunes build and release tension like an epic movie." All Music Guide
re: FACE UP AGAIN
"...categorize "Face Up Again" as the best song Teenage Fanclub never wrote and a surefire Top 10 hit..." www.fakejazz.com

RECORDINGS
re: NOTHING STOPS MOVING, Gingersol
"Home-recorded by guitarist Seth Rothschild, Nothing Stops Moving has a crispness and atmosphere that seem rare these days, even for expensive studio projects. Guitars crunch and drums pop with clarity, colored by layers of reverberating Wurlitzers and spare synths." OC Weekly
re: EASTERN, Gingersol
"There is a flying saucer in the background of track 2 on Gingersol's Eastern. Is it a flying saucer? No matter, it sounds pretty cool. Seth Rothschild guides the music on this record with some of the coolest guitaring heard in awhile." www.popculturepress.com
re: SOME KINDA HAPPY, Weed Patch "the album was recorded over eight days, yet comes fully equipped with all kinds of auxiliary noisy goodness and plenty of intriguing stylistic variations." NO DEPRESSION

"Weed Patch's first album, Maybe The Brakes Will Fail, was made cut-and-paste style in a crappy warehouse setting over a year of weekends and evenings; our second album, Some Kinda Happy, was done with a fairly inexperienced band in a no-looking-back blitz spanning nine consecutive days and nights in a Los Angeles studio. Both couldn't be assembled more differently. Both are filled with craft and imagination and proudly successful creative efforts. I hear albums all the time where I think, "This is good, but Seth could have made this better." He is still excited by making and listening to music. Seth's production work is enduring because it works on multiple levels -- it's dense with tasteful overdubs, sometimes working on a subconscious level -- while it's rife with immediacy and the sense of spontaneity." NEAL WEISS, singer/songwriter of WEED PATCH
