RumoursOfWhores

by RumoursOfWhores

Tired of today's pop tribulations? Longing for a simpler time? ROW produce music. We refuse to over-produce, partly because of idealism and partly because we're not very good at it. We combine a deep love of the disturbing with cheap Casio instruments and a broken Roland CR-78 we found in a skip. Dannii flat-out refuses to be in any of our tracks, and we're desperate for Sarah Brightman to do those shouty woah-oh bits like in Go West.

Episodes

  1. Life in a Goldfish Bowl [ROW Hadalpelagic Zone Rework]

    “Life in a Goldfish Bowl” is a cult classic 1982 single by Baard, an early musical project of Alexander Bard, who later gained fame with Army of Lovers, Vacuum, and more. It was reissued by Genetic Records in 2002 and 2012, and its minimalist electronic sound and moody existential lyrics speak to...

  2. Baard - Life in a Goldfish Bowl [ROW Core Mix]

    It's been nearly a decade since we released our cover/remix of Baard's track ‘A Saviour for the Nations’, the b-side to his first single, the superb ‘Life in a Goldfish Bowl’. Why did it take us so long… the Logic Pro file's been sitting there since 2016, but somehow we never quite put it all...

  3. Two Big Scoops on Filey Sands [Extra Toppings Remix]

    I walk the rain-swept sands with you, each step a quiet rhythm beneath the grey embrace of the sky. The sea breathes an ancient song, echoing the soft raindrops that kiss our skin, that linger in our hair. Your hand brushes mine, a fleeting spark of warmth, and the only thing that matters is you....

  4. Two Big Scoops on Filey Sands [Radio Edit]

    I walk the rain-swept sands with you, each step a quiet rhythm beneath the grey embrace of the sky. The sea breathes an ancient song, echoing the soft raindrops that kiss our skin, that linger in our hair. Your hand brushes mine, a fleeting spark of warmth, and the only thing that matters is you....

  5. Pumping the Hungry Slots

    ‘Pumping the Hungry Slots’ is a poem for times gone by, a childhood haunted by the robotic intonation ‘Green wizard needs food badly’. Alas… the supply of 10p pieces always fell short, with always one more Grunt generator to go.

  6. Hands Full at the Postcard Rack

    ‘Hands Full at the Postcard Rack’ is taken from our new album, ‘Pier Pressure’, available when we get the LinnDrum to work again. It's like we always said: people don't appreciate an LM-2 until it's gone… Both the single and extended version can be purchased at...

  7. Cupping His Balls at Hunstanton Crazy Golf [Radio Edit]

    The first track from our new album, ‘Pier Pressure’, available when we get the LinnDrum to work again. It's like we always said: people don't appreciate an LM-2 until it's gone… The single ‘Cupping His Balls at Hunstanton Crazy Golf’ can be purchased at...

  8. Ambient.greenwaxedpaper

    The blackbird spreads its wings and prepares to push itself from the tile edge about which its three-toed feet grip. His head turns back toward me, inquisitive, bright-eyed, and the beak scrapes open once more. The moment is like something precious, the plain sound drifting across the air between...

  9. ambient.birl

    Imaginative and swirly, the birl is whirly. Roundabout and wholesome, you have to make your own tablet. This is a swirly cock-battler. Go first.

  10. Running Out

    Our 2010 Ultra Limited Release single still brings back terrifying memories of having no ten pence pieces. That behemoth of a cabinet, the massive organ-heavy theme tune, and Barbarian, Wizard, Valkyrie and Elf standing by but (of course) requiring one to play at the appropriate station of the...

  11. In Fire

    We intended a number of b-sides for the late 2000s, but after that episode in Morocco, which is frankly ridiculous, we gave up on the whole thing. It's just not possible for CDs to melt, and the Rocko The Ham's story makes less than sense. Either way, we paid the authorities' customs fees, but we...

  12. Ambient.allthereis

    ambient.allthereis... from our second album of not-quite-but-nearly-ambient music. It's about the fact that *this*, around you, is all there is, but you can't really tell that from the music so it's quite safe to play to vicars, pastors, busybodies and the Pope. Go ahead, it's on us. Getting a...

  13. Rumours Of Whores [Radio Edit]

    The theme tune to Rumours of Whores, and erstwhile b-side to the ill-fated 2009 release of 'I've Had Better' - the single that wasn't to be and, indeed, didn't and wouldn't. The only copy, pressed onto the blank side of a white label, was sent to Jean Michel Jarre and subsequently forwarded to…

  14. ambient.aviation

    Even with the rich history of women in aviation, today less than ten percent of professional pilots are women.
