drds89 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Apologies if you think this is too premature, but I'm really eager to hear what they have done with their sound on this EP per the description: http://rosettaband.tumblr.com/post/83720147323/new-ep-update New EP update Our new EP, titled Flies to Flame, is being mastered this week. It’ll be out later this year in traditional formats — LP and CD — on Translation Loss Records. This not a pay-what-you-wish digital release. This recording was a departure from our normal working style. We wrote the material in late 2012 and recorded it in a garage in early 2013, while we were writing The Anaesthete. It’s deliberately lo-fi, jangly, and experimental, a tribute to the stripped-down sound of the post-rock and drone records we loved when Rosetta began. Most of it was improvised as it was being recorded, and it was not edited or ‘fixed’ to make it sound polished. All the grit is there. We used different instruments and equipment than we normally play with, since this material isn’t intended to be played live. Instead it functions as a kind of process document, from an important and transitional year in our life as a band. For the first time since The Galilean Satellites, we did all recording and mixing ourselves (with the invaluable help of our intern engineer, Alex Ruday). Mike Wohlberg is returning to create the artwork and layout, and James Plotkin is mastering it for both CD and vinyl. Track list:1. Soot2. Seven Years with Nothing to Show3. Les Mots et les Choses4.

JRHews Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'm still waiting for their US version of 'The Anaesthete' they promised was coming... I have the Euro version they put out at release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Apologies if you think this is too premature Haha, I was going to post this and had the exact same thoughts. It sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to hearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindovermatter Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 This reminds me that I still need to import their last one. And pay Don for the other imports he is holding for me. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'm still waiting for their US version of 'The Anaesthete' they promised was coming... I have the Euro version they put out at release. Armine's been selling records, and BJ / Matt have been selling stuff, so I'm not sure if that was for studio time for the EP or if for the US pressing of The Anaesthete.

deletedunknown Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Armine's dog had to have surgery or something, so he was selling records to pay for that, if I remember correctly. He had good prices on the stuff. He's a good dude in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Artwork is quite the departure from what they normally do, but I like it a lot. I thought that too, but then realized that every cover they've done has been a departure, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 If you follow them on FB they posted some clips from their tour in China this summer One of tracks is from the EP, and they had said not written to be played live - so enjoy this if you haven't already... http://site.douban.com/rosetta/widget/videos/7304747/video/499682/ Hard to tell if the artwork is MW or not. It was cool how Matt had the idea for the ADoM cover, and they archived the rough sketches to the final product. Lord knows I would much rather deal with Amazon than TL, so just make them all Black plz ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't think I've ever ordered from TL, they a pain to deal with or something? 3 for 3 had to file PP claim after non-fulfillment (first one at the 44 day mark) after scanty answer to emails, 2nd two times after 4 weeks if no product and no response to email, did the claim thing. maybe with the new website they are better organized/staffed, idk?

drds89 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 My secret wish is before Rosetta abandon their sound (ie Matt's guitar effects) that they do a split with Jakob, each doing a 12+ minute track per side, and Sheath handling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't think I've ever ordered from TL, they a pain to deal with or something? I've ordered from them numerous times over the years and never had one issue. I actually ordered a record last week and received it yesterday. I would order with confidence. By the way, I'm super excited for this new Rosetta album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 99.9% that you told me to create a PP address "TranslationLossSucks@domain" and they would send me a bunch of free stuff!! -- you know, like "Primus Sucks" You yanked me didn't you. SOB. Going to change my PP addy for this Rosetta PO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
