The Roller Paint a Picture of Doom
Drawing from the deep vibrations of vintage doom and heavy stoner rock, THE ROLLER will celebrate the release of their self-titled debut full length with a string of dates supporting SAVIOURS, RUSSIAN CIRCLES, DAUGHTERS, and more.
THE ROLLER has teamed up with Austin label Monofonus Press for the 2nd installment of the IF Series, a collection of multimedia box sets that bring together musicians, writers, and visual artists. THE ROLLER teamed up with author Rebecca Bengal, who provides the story, Captioning for the Blind, a lonely, lost Hill Country tale full of absence and animal carcasses. Both are accompanied by painter Virginia Yount’s fluorescent visions of surreal and mysteriously abandoned landscapes. Inspired by this collaboration, Morowitz wrote the opening track, “Zugunruhe,” based on Bengal’s story. The title describes an anxious behavior in birds, or as his sickening vocal sermon eerily declares, a “restless migration.”
