Press release from Terrorbird Media:
RBTS WIN are completing production on their forthcoming album Sensitivity Kit for 2017, the follow-up to 2014’s Palm Sunday.
In anticipation of the new album, RBTS WIN are releasing the King Summer EP this Friday (October 21st) on Tidal Prism. Northern Transmissions is streaming the prismatic EP cut “Heart Eyes” today, following Stereogum sharing “King Summer” earlier this fall. Stream the entire EP here on Soundcloud.
A record of the group’s transition from the densely sampled textures of Palm Sunday to the dynamic clarity and expanded scope of their live set up, the new EP is a good insight into the material as it turns a corner from the Avalanches-style sampled vinyl in order to explore a more purpose-driven instrumentation. Today the trio shares their infectious title track with and it can be heard here.
RBTS WIN forge their own brand of cerebral body music in the heart of the Appalachian mountains. Invoking the harmony and chaos of analog synthesizers and old-school samplers, the collective of sonic adepts have grown a cult following throughout the southeast, becoming a staple performance of North Carolina’s futurist-technology conference, Moogfest since 2012. 2014’s Palm Sunday [Tidal Prism Records] transmitted the group’s unique blend of lo-fi pop and physical R&B across the globe.
Putting a finger on the pulse on the collective has always been a challenge. Whispers of a follow up to Palm Sunday have bounced around the Southeast and beyond with multiple videos and studio photos emitted from their social media outlets but most official releases since their debut LP have come with production credits on random rap records and collaborations with other artists. This would be the first peak into what the group has been developing the past two years.***
