The album in question is the result of a small odyssey, a day of guerrilla recording in sweltering February heat. The space: the cavernous guts of a now-demolished Amcor printing and packaging facility.
A week before the building was due to go down, Roussemoff lugged their tools of destroy deep into the facility, to a gutted laboratory; a room rich with swirling reverb and dead industrial memories.
Surviving potentially hazardous chemicals, oppressive heat and even electrocution, the Melbourne trio made it out alive with 6 tracks, 40minutes and 40 seconds, and a full length album of nothing but pure vibe.
Mixed and Mastered by Myles Mumford (Martin Martini and the Bone Palace Orchestra, Lamplight, Peter Knight, Howl At The Moon) the album is an evocation of heavy, organic, soul.
Mumford's idiosyncratic approach to mixing catalyses and amplifies Roussemoff's own uniquely dynamic approach to heaviness.
