The second full length album from Rrose ‘Please Touch’ following 2019's incredible ‘Hymn to Moisture’. Further honing the artist's tensile sound, ‘Please Touch’ explored new aesthetic vistas and basking in an undeniably erotic sense of play. Moving with undulating power, the album's nine tracks drift across tempos from a weightless 0 bpm to a crawling 100 to a lunging 140 and back, with a rich palette of sculpted noise and cross-talking microtones.
The album splits its time between radical techno iterations and pieces which pare back the percussion, letting the synth textures uncurl in their own time and space. The quivering drone and rolling sub-bass of ‘Joy of the Worm’ set the tone for the record, while ‘Rib Cage’, ‘Spore’ and ‘Spines’ swing with stepping rhythmic underpinnings.
