Junius / Rosetta is a split EP by American art rock band Junius and American post metal band Rosetta. It includes original tracks by both bands and a download card to obtain additional content online, including two cover songs.

Kickstarter

Funding for studio time and mixing of the tracks "TMA-3" and "4th of July" was made possible by fan donations through Kickstarter. Rosetta was highly successful in raising $2,611 through this project after a series of setbacks threatened to delay the split release further.

Release

After several years of planning, Junius / Rosetta was made available in CD format on September 27, 2011, and in vinyl format on November 22, 2011. The CD release was handled by Translation Loss Records, while the vinyl edition was by The Mylene Sheath. The vinyl release was limited, and only 1,000 copies have been pressed for distribution.
