New Song On Sunday

 

Today's song appeared as a bonus track on the reissue of The Amateur View, the third album by To Rococo Rot, originally released at the end of the last century. To Rococo Rot were a post-rock trio from Berlin formed in 1995. Very quickly, they mixed analog effects with warm, electronic drones and mechanical percussion to create a sound that slowly creeps into the ear and doesn't want to disappear again.

I don't know if this song a real new one or just a song that didn't make it onto the record at the time. But it doesn't matter if you discover their music through this record.

John Peel invited them three times for his sessions and they showed that their sound works very well live. Prado is one of my favorite songs from her album mentioned above.

Monday's Long Song

 

To Rococo Rot were a German electronic band. Formed in the mid 90's by Robert and Ronald Lippok and Stefan Schneider they released in 1999 The Amateur View one of the most underrated albums of this era. Filled with small sound patterns full of melancholic moments and excursions in electronic fields. It marked the leave of classic krautrock and the start into new electronic fields. No wonder that John Peel invited them to three sessions. This version of Cars by Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones from 2012 shows the potential of their songs according the sound of Andrew Weatherall.
