We’re only a few days away from the release of Instrument<\/em>, the brand new album from Berlin based trio To Rococo Rot<\/a>. The album will see the light of day on July 21st via City Slang<\/a>.
\nFounded in the 90’s by brothers Robert and Ronald Lippok and Stefan Schneide, and with eight albums under their belt, To Rococo Rot are adding vocals to an album for the first time. \u201cI don\u2019t know how it came but it came quite naturally. A lot of our music people say is longing for vocals,\u201d said Robert Lippok. \u201cWe never felt like that but when we were in the rehearsal room and played the stuff we could hear these voices. Maybe because there were about 40 old pianos and when we played, all the strings of the pianos resonated. That made us feel that there should be a new and another element in this music. There was no discussion about it”. And also very naturally for them, To Rococo Rot recruited No Wave pioneer Arto Lindsay, who was himself a fan of the band. “He was totally into the idea from the first second on,\u201d said Lippok \u201cI really like the combination of the way he plays the guitar and the beauty of his voice. It\u2019s magic how these two worlds come together\u201d.
\nLindsay guests on three tracks, \u2018Many Descriptions\u2019, \u2018Classify\u2019 and \u2018The Longest Escalator in the World\u2019. To Rococo Rot have premiered a befittingly beautiful video for the track ‘Classify’, made by Orson Sieverding & Pola Sieverding. Watch it below.<\/p>\n
