Grievances
ROLO TOMASSI are back, armed with the brilliant, brand new album ‘Grievances’ through UK label Holy Roar Records. ‘Grievances’ was recorded and mixed by the esteemed Lewis Johns at The Ranch (Funeral For A Friend, Gnarwolves, Your Demise, Palm Reader) and is the band’s 4th studio album. Having first worked with Holy Roar from the start of the label in 2006, it has been a joy to watch one of the most inventive bands in the UK grow and grow – taking on world tours, recording an album with Diplo and much, much more besides. With both band and label going from creative strength-to-strength, now feels like the perfect time to re-establish a new, improved, alliance. This is their most exciting, progressive, direct and emotional material to date – ROLO TOMASSI are clearly forever pushing forward artistically. ‘At 10 years in I feel more enthused than ever with where were at as a band,’ says frontwoman Eva Spence. ‘With ‘Grievances’, we followed on from the sound we developed on ‘Astraea’ and pushed that even more so to make an album were all really proud of and which I consider to be our best material to date.’ James Spence adds: ‘Creatively we wanted to do something ambitious and took our time in making sure the material was right. We tried new ways of writing including collaborating with other musicians for the first time to make sure we could capture the feel we wanted on this record. The Ranch provided the ideal location to make this happen and having worked with him last year on our single ‘Adrasteia’, we jumped at the chance to work with Lewis again who has really brought it all to life with his production.’
