Alle neun Stücke wurden in den legendären BBC-Studios aufgenommen von Brad Boatright (Converge, Sunn O)))). Das purste und roheste Statement der Band. This release has been in the works for over 3 years. We wont bore you with the specifics, but the fact that this release is finally seeing the light of day in the wake of the bands stunning 4th album 'Grievances' -their first full-length on Holy Roar - and coinciding with Holy Roar's ten year celebrations, seems somewhat fitting. It was worth the effort though: this is an incredible documentation of both Rolo Tomassi's ongoing evolution and the continuing support of the BBC for such an innovative, daring band. Working in reverse-chronological order, the first four tracks (Howl, Old Mystics, Empiresk and Illuminare) are taken from the Radio 1 Rock Show, presented by Daniel P Carter, recorded early 2013. Three of these tracks were drawn from 2012's Astraea, along with the standalone, lesser known single 'Old Mystics'. The latter five tracks are drawn from a session recorded for Huw Stephens back at the beginning of 2008. Drawing mostly upon material from early EPs and 7"s, this session also includes an early version of 'I Love Turbulence', a full seven months prior to the release of 'Hysterics'. All nine tracks were recorded live and mixed at the legendary BBC Maida Vale studios and mastered for this release by Brad Boatright (Converge, Sunn O)))). This is probably as pure and raw a representation of the many faces of Rolo Tomassi that you will hear.
