Alt Pop duo The Response have announced the independent release of their fourth studio album Escaping This Cold Rotation on December 6th. Recorded between Vancouver and their home of New Zealand, the album's fifteen tracks explore the cyclical nature of human thought through adversity while digging deeper into the electronic textures and energetic percussion that have become the duo's signature. Early singles Tallest Walls and Practical have drawn comparisons to Broods, Mura Masa and The 1975.
The album is bookended by the minimalistic tracks Analyse and Tell Me When You Know It's Right, the former expressing the need to break the cycle and the latter concluding that the answer it outside of yourself. Lyrically and sonically the remainder of the alt pop tracks explore the duality that exists in emotion and circumstance. At the centre sits Split In Two, which divides the album into two halves that mirror each other.
In the last few years The Response have played bigger and bigger shows bringing their unique performance style to the main stage at Electric Avenue, TEDx, and supporting a variety of international and local acts. They will embark on a tour in support of the new album in the new year.
