‘Rollerchain’ is the fourth album from Belleruche, out 7th May 2012 on Tru Thoughts records. Showcasing a stunning new progression in sound for the acclaimed London trio, the LP is preceded by the “Stormbird” single in March, which has already clocked up over 75,000 YouTube hits in just a few short weeks, as well as early radio support including Huey Morgan on BBC 6Music.

Combining a very modern aesthetic with classic song writing ability, the album is a collision of haunting vocals, tough analogue sounds and bleeding edge electronic production. Stranger rhythms and basslines inhabit this record; both in the studio and onstage, Belleruche have picked up new instruments and ideas to create a complexity and an attack that take the band's core elements – vocals (care of Kathrin deBoer), guitar (Ricky Fabulous) and turntables (DJ modest) – to a new level. Away from the distractions of their hectic touring schedule, they spent the last five months of 2011 writing and recording the album; taking sounds and twisting them, recording straight versions of songs with bass, drums and guitar and then tearing the idea apart to find a novel and captivating style. This unconventional approach to songwriting has resulted in a record which is introspective yet aggressive; the harmonies flit between menacing and angelic, and soulful siren deBoer is by turns endearingly candid and enticingly enigmatic.

As part of the Rollerchain album Belleruche will be providing exclusive music for the UK fans. At every date in every city of the UK tour, audience members will get a unique code to download an exclusive Belleruche track or remix, for that night only. So if you come to every date in the UK run, you could put together a whole new album…
