"Speculation" is the new, perfectly titled, To Rococo Rot album, recorded in part at Faust"s studio. To Rococo Rot, the trio of Stefan Schneider and brothers Robert and Ronald Lippok, debuted just over a decade ago at the point where digital precision and instrumental abstraction were harnessed into new directions. Their sound is seemingly contradictory: instruments and technology, analog and digital, contemporary and primitive, detached and accessible.
