Rothko

This three track single for Bad Hand Records marks a slight departure from the Rothko's recent output. As suggested by the single's title and the blood-spattered artwork of Mark Beazley himself, this record concerns the nature of internal conflict. The three tracks are informed by the increasingly varied and disparate styles the group have been employing over a very busy period in their career. The tracks were recorded as the 4 piece, which has now become the live incarnation of the band. Both ‘Burn Darkness in the Fires' and title track 'A Personal Account of Conflict' featured heavily in the recent Discovery Channel docu/drama 'The Flight That Fought Back'.

This four track 12" EP released on Trace Recordings features one track remixed by Rothko's Mark Beazley.

BLK w/BEAR is a sound sculptor; his creations use everything from dissonance to ambient sounds to offer towering, constantly unfolding terrains of sonic inquiry - All Music Guide. USA

Exploring a gentle and impressionistic Durutti Column, Cocteau Twins, Harold Budd and Eberhard Weber territory, this unique combination of haunting textures and loop improvs might just be one of the highly regarded Rothko's finer moments.
