Robert Roth

Former Truly (Sub Pop, Capitol) frontman Robert Roth’s solo debut, Someone, Somewhere, is an uncompromising statement of artistic dedication. Roth’s soulful drawl and unshakeable soaring melodies weave together washes of haunted guitars, mellotron-soaked soundscapes, and warped orchestral passages into an ageless epic that differentiates itself from imitations. A recent feature on a preview copy in Devil in the Woods Magazine hailed Someone, Somewhere as a “truly timeless creation,” and said “Roth’s work overwhelms listeners one moment, then pacifies them in starkly bare passages seconds later. It echoes nearly every great blast of sound from the past 50 years, not in the order of its chords, but in its ability to shake listeners from their complacency.”
