Rotor to Release Sieben Feb. 15; Spring Tour Announced
Suitably enough, Rotor‘s impending Sieben is the follow-up to 2018’s Sechs (review here), and if you’re wondering why that’s suitable, it’s because ‘sieben’ is ‘seven’ in German, and ‘sechs’ is ‘six.’ It is — wait for it — their seventh album. Noisolution has the release and will have a limited-to-100 special edition up for sale through their store starting on Jan. 15. Those preorder links are below.
Okay, so maybe obvious plot points here are obvious. Nonetheless, Rotor‘s continual progression as a four-piece presents something to look forward to hearing — no audio yet; so it goes — and if you happen to be in Germany or the surrounding area in April, they’ve got two weeks of tour dates lined up to support the record that no doubt will be accompanied by festival gigs and other doings throughout the rest of 2023. I’m also pretty sure 2023 marks 25 years of the band, so can’t help but wonder if they might not have some celebration in mind for that too. There’s a lot of year to come, so I guess we’ll find out.

After five years they are back and the number game continues. The seventh album is now the third since 2015 as a quartet and what started with “Fünf” and got its own sound with the addition of the second guitarist Martin has been refined over and over again. The production – again by Charlie Paschen (Coogan’s Bluff) – has become bigger, lighter and more transparent, while the rhythm section shows itself grooving heavily and unimpressed by all this and ROTOR continues to look massive like old bunkers in the Berlin cityscape.
Tracklisting:

2. Auf Grund
3. Aller Tage Abend

ROTOR – a phenomenon in the alternative rock scene that swims stubbornly, stubbornly and eccentrically against the tide.
