SGLP007 Pele/Rhythm of Black Lines split LP
The first installment of our “Puppet Series”. This record documents a transitional period for ROBL who had already begun working on new material incorporating vocals. Pele’s electronic ballad is gentle, sparse, and delicate. Cover art from Chicago’s Yunicorn Design who sculpted the characters and designed the incredible layout.
More Info:
Milwaukee post-rock combo Pelé was formed in 1997 by guitaristChris Rosenau, bassist Scott Schoenbeck and drummer Jon Mueller; two weeks before recording their debut record Teaching the History of Teaching Geography, the trio recruited former Promise Ring member Scott Beschta to play keyboards, ultimately the dominant musical element both of the LP and its companion remix disc People Living with Animals. Animals Kill People. After the sessions were completed, Schoenbeck agreed to assume Beschta’s onetime bass duties in the Promise Ring, with Beschta himself moving on to other projects; the remaining duo of Rosenau and Mueller recruited bassist Matt Tennessen, with whom they’d worked in a pre-Pelé group dubbed Tussin.
