“Ultrasound” by Tomorrow Woman
Tomorrow Woman is the musical project of Paris, France based artist Betsy Roszko, who will release her new album Plays Machines on May 1st, ahead of the EP’s arrival, she has shared new single “Ultrasound.” Roszko was formerly a member of the band Gomme. Plays Machines was mixed by Saguiv Rosenstock (YHWH Nailgun) and mastered by Heba Kadry (Björk, Blood Orange).
On new single “Ultrasound” Betsy said “I started out just wanting to make something dark and clubby and fun, and then the song kind of took on a life of its own. I hope it unlocks a slightly concerning version of you on the dance floor.” Raised in a Petaluma and later moving to San Francisco, Betsy’s relationship to music began early; immersed in 90s pop, alternative, and electronic music through MTV, VH1, and her older brother’s CD collection. While electronic music captivated her imagination, it felt distant from the suburban Northern California music scene she grew up in. Instead, Rosko turned to dance, ballet and modern, allowing her body to become her first instrument, and movement her primary language.
Betsy didn’t begin playing music until her early twenties. Without formal training, she initially gravitated toward San Francisco’s garage, post-punk, and punk scenes, where passion mattered more than polish. Punk became an entry point – a space of permission. She learned drums, discovering that rhythm felt like “dancing with her hands”. Her first band, Warm White, was short-lived, but it set the foundation for what followed. In 2014, Betsy relocated to Paris, where she co-founded the all-female goth/post-punk trio Gomme.
Tomorrow Woman emerged slowly and unexpectedly. After a long break, Betsy began teaching herself music production working alone with a cracked DAW, YouTube tutorials, and a deeply ingrained DIY mentality. In doing so, she reconnected not only with music, but with Europe’s electronic lineage, finding a new sense of belonging in France through sound. The project became a space of rediscovery – technically, creatively, and personally.
Tomorrow Woman’s debut EP, Plays Machines, was written and recorded entirely in Betsy’s living room, just outside Paris. The EP embraces play, rhythm, and drama, balancing catharsis and restraint, experimentation, and immediacy. Themes of anti-capitalism, the female experience, spirituality, connection to the earth, and the joy of learning run throughout the record. The “machines” of the title are not cold or distant, but tools for freedom – objects to be played with rather than obeyed.
The process of making Plays Machines felt, by Betsy’s own account, like a rebirth. Rejecting genre limitations, she allowed herself to experiment with voice, persona, structure, and texture, guided by a single mantra: no rules. In a culture obsessed with outcomes, Tomorrow Woman instead centres presence – the radical act of enjoying creation for its own sake.
