- The Leaf Label will release the Swedish experimental duo's third album in June.
Roll The Dice are releasing their third album, Until Silence, via The Leaf Label this June.
It's the Stockholm experimental duo's first full-length release since 2011 (though they collaborated on an EP with Pole in the interim, and member Peder Mannerfelt has kept plenty busy with solo work). As they tell it, Until Silence continues the narrative that their first two albums advanced—if their second album, In Dust, saw the "pastoral" sound of their self-titled debut corrupted by compositional flourishes suggesting industrialization, then things stand to get even more grittily mechanized on album number three. Mannenfelt says Roll The Dice "wanted to push the music to extremes" here, shooting for a sound "both harder and darker, but more romantic and emotional at the same time." It features string arrangements played by a 26-piece ensemble, along with the duo's usual electronics. In addition to CD and digital releases, the album ships as a limited-edition double LP.
