topshelfsquad Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 We at Topshelf are thrilled to announce that we'll be releasing A Forest of Polarity, the debut album from Bellingham, Washington's Rooftops on vinyl. Pre-orders for the album will go up April 1st (heh, no joke) with copies hitting store shelves around the globe on May 18th. Rooftops take its brand of intricate math pop and layer it generously with acoustic guitars, horns, strings and percussion. The resulting arrangements create an impressive sound uniting math rock and post rock into something bold, new and exciting. The band adds vocals to the mix only sparingly but at brilliantly timed intervals for maximum effect. It is the bold, unbridled enthusiasm of math rock harnessed only by the restraints and subtle nuances of post rock. A Forest of Polarity is the sound of two becoming one. Can you hear it? The band is streaming songs from A Forest of Polarity on its Myspace page. Additionally, you can download an mp3 for the song "Raft Easily" here. Beginning next Friday, Rooftops will embark on a month-long trek across the US with good friends The Americas.
