Biografie van de kunstenaar Rolo Tomassi

Rolo Tomassi Are A British Experimental Mathcore Band From Stocksbridge Sheffield. Formed In 2005 They Set Their Local Scene Alight By Playing A Synth-Driven Technical Mix Of Styles And Genres Difficult To Define In A Single Word. The Band's Name Was Taken From The Movie L.A. Confidential. They Are Known For Their Strong DIY Ethic And Chaotic Live Performances. The Band Is Currently Signed To MNRK Heavy. They Released Two Albums On Hassle Records Hysterics 2008 And The Diplo-Produced Cosmology 2010 . After Creating Their Own Record Label Called Destination Moon In 2011 They Released Eternal Youth A Compilation Album Of B-Sides Remixes And Rarities From Throughout Their Career And Their Third Album 21012’s Astraea With The First Line-Up Change In Their Career. They Then Released Two Albums On Holy Roar Records Grievances 2015 And Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It 2018 . Their Music Has Been Difficult To Classify Simply Because Of The Band's Resistance To Being Identified With One Single Genre. Described As "like A Polished Chrome King Crimson For The 21st Century" They Have Typically Been Acknowledged As Being Mathcore A Tag Which Summarises The Theoretical Complexity Of Their Music Such As Odd Time Signatures Like 9/8 And 13/8 And Polyrhythmic Drumming. They Have Been Identified As "falling Somewhere Between Grindcore Progressive And Alternative Rock And Have Been Categorised As Experimental Rock Post-Metal Post-Hardcore Progressive Hardcore Progressive Rock And Screamo. The Band Utilises Two Vocalists In Their Music A Quality Which "immediately Creates A Rich And Textured Sonic World". Eva Spence's Vocal Style Was Acknowledged By Michael Wilson Of The BBC As Bi-Polar Swapping Between "fragile Lullabies To Blood-Curdling Scowls". Her Singing Voice Is In A Soprano Vocal Range And Has Been Compared To The Stylings Of Alison Goldfrapp Of Goldfrapp And Elizabeth Fraser Of The Cocteau Twins. Their Earlier Work—such As Hysterics Cosmology And Their Demos And Extended Plays—was Known For Its Use Of Jazz Breakdowns And Swapping Chaotically Between Explosive Mathcore Calm Atmospheric Experimental Music And Acid Jazz. Their Music Is Also Noted For Sharing Traits With Nintendocore In Terms Of Chaos And Sound For The Use Of 8-Bit Synthesizers. The Compilation Album Eternal Youth Gave Insight Into Their Musical Development From Their 2005 Demos To Their Latest B-Side Releases With Hassle Records. The Band’s Sound Developed Further Into Pop Ambient Shoegaze And Space Rock Elements For Their Third Album Astraea And Has Been Jokingly Dubbed As Cosmic-Core. For One Of The B-Sides From The Album—“Mezmerizer”—NME Journalist Hamish MacBain Classed It As A "space Rock Ballad". For The Album The Band Decided To Base Its Name On The Goddess Of The Same Name A Reference To The Spence Siblings’ Admiration For Greek Mythology And A Desire To Pick A Title Which Made The Album "sound Big And Like This Proper Body Of Work". The Non-Album Single "Old Mystics" And The Song From The Album "The Scales Of Balance" Both Make Reference To The "Golden Age" Declared By Astraea. In Contrast To The Lighter Tone Developed On Astraea Their Fourth Album—Grievances—is Frenetic And Dark In Its Composition Utilising Pianos And Violins For A Darker Character. Their Fifth Album Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It— As Described By James Spence—“continues In The Vein Of Grievances' Darkness But Shouldn't Be Used To Judge What All Our New Material Sounds Like." The Band's Sixth Album Where Myth Becomes Memory Was Released On 04 February 2022. Lyrically It Deals With "how The Passage Of Time Miles On The Road Bittersweet Nostalgia And The Inherent Unreliability Of Human Memory Shape And Reshape Our Experience Of The Art We Make And The Lives We Live." Sonically The Music Continues To "magnify The Dynamic Interplay Between Light And Shade" Moving From Chaos To Tranquility At The Drop Of A Hat. Current Members Eva Korman – Vocals 2005–present James Spence – Vocals Synthesizer 2005–present Chris Cayford – Guitar 2012–present Nathan Fairweather – Bass Guitar 2012–present Al Pott – Drums 2018–present
