News : Roussemoff’s “R(live.01)” launch show (and free download)

By on April 19, 2012

Minimalist psychedelic doom trio Roussemoff, featuring members of Sleep Parade and A State of Flux, will be launching the physical version of their live EP R(live.01) at Melbourne’s Toff In Town on May 1st, alongside White Walls and Deep Heat. If you haven’t heard these guys but dig your plodding, bass-based doom, then you definitely want to head over to their Bandcamp page and get this release.

There is a free download up there, or for a bargain price of $5, you can pre-order one a physical copy. They’re handmade and handprinted, and limited to only 100 copies.

“A rhythm section to end all rhythm sections.

Comprised of two basses and drums, Roussemoff take an agressive and minimal approach to all things big and rumbly. Formed in 2007 and comprised of members of rhythm sections from A State of Flux, Sleep Parade and Johnny Uppercut, the Melbourne-based trio draws from a diverse range of sonic influences, from Meshuggah, My Disco and Sunn O))), to Autechre, Earth and The Dillinger Escape Plan.

The strong rhythmic basis, pant-flappingly low frequencies and attention to deep groove is what catalyzes Roussemoff’s lasting impact on both audiences and fellow musicians alike.”

And while we’re talking about Roussemoff, here’s a little teaser of their upcoming album.
