Rrose - Please Touch (Eaux)

New Rrose. 9 tracks. On the Bandcampz and the boomkatz. Great stuff

Great indeed

Rib Cage, Spines and Spore, fuckin downtempo killers!

I'm loving the alternating atmospheric/rhythmic track structure. Works really well as an album to be listened to in its entirety.

Agree. Breaks up the intensity and also adds to it at the same time.

Spore is wildly intense. Love the first two tracks the best so far but gonna spend some time with this for sure. Some of it makes me wish for some new Stott but that’s a different convo…

Feeding time has been snaking through my porous brain all week. Epic mood.

How did I miss this release

superb album. very interesting textures. spore is a hypnotic bomb.

his latest dj set is also excellent.

This is sensational!

Yea, this has been on a loop. Hypnotic af.

asmr ambient techno. wtf.

I love this album, it's so tactile, feels like all these textures are rubbing up directly against my brain.

Spore reminds me of Autechre's Tankakern, with the springy reverb and dense paranoid sort of atmosphere.

First play. Very, very good. So far its been a super year for electronic music, well stuff that I've listened to anyway.

Epic track indeed. Reminds me a little of TH BOC, but also original in its own right. Nice work.

There was only one album I was gonna hit first play on this Sunday. Could be album of the year territory…

Thank you so much for posting this, Upset man. I had heard of Rrose before but never checked it out. This is incredible. On repeat since Sunday. Can you guess what I am listening to while typing this??

Have enjoyed Rrose before but still haven't got around to hearing this.

Album of the year so far for me

Funny, I was just coming to bump this as well - what a gem of a record. The production itself is so full and perfect. Parts of it are borderline disorienting. Just an A+ listen from start to finish.

bought (yesterday) thanks for the reminder 

Sorry if this doesn't belong in a New & Upcoming Releases thread, but can anyone recommend something similar to this? This release is amazing. Album of the year so far.

Posting some stuff I find similar if anyone else is interested:

The entire Grey Area series is worth checking out im most ho.

Also, Karim Maas, and the Stone Tapes series in general.

None of these match the haziness of Please Touch.. Also, Rrose did a good job at keeping it easy with the heavy thumping, there are no massively deep kicks on Please Touch, which creates a special nebulous atmosphere where everything seems to whirl, but nothing ever falls. Please Touch never takes the obvious route.

Modern Cathedrals has some of this, and now defunct Stroboscopic Artefacts might be worth checking out.

Thanks a bunch for the recs! Completely forgot about Stroboscopic Artefacts. Will check out Modern Cathedrals now.

Not really the same but you might dig some of Lamont Kohner's stuff.
