Rat Road, The (Vinyl) Sale

Description

Rat Road, The (Vinyl)

The follow-up to SBTRKT’s 2016 album ‘SAVE YOURSELF’

Speaking about his forthcoming LP, Aaron Jerome says: “This album has been my most sonically ambitious record to create – following my own musical path – which isn’t based on others’ perceptions of what SBTRKT should be.

“‘The Rat Road’ title is a play on the concept of ‘the rat race’. It’s partly based on my own challenging experiences within the music industry and life generally – though I realised the idea is not isolated from a much wider feeling of exhaustion – definitely true here in the UK with little sense of respite from ever increasing costs/decreasing opportunity/and a bold divide-and-conquer mentality.

“There is the juxtaposition in the record between determination and hopelessness.”
