On October 20, new-yorked based vocalist Sharon Shy and musician Toppy aka R. Missing will release their debut mini-album “Unsummering” on Talitres.

“Unsummering”, the first release under their new moniker R. Missing, expands on The Ropes’ previous palette of Morrissey tinged lyrics and darkwave. It manages to be even more isolated lyrically than their famously nihilistic previous work, fully embracing complete detachment. Musically, fraught guitar and synth textures paint an image of an unstable world, held together only by tightly quantized electronic drum beats.

“Unsummering” available for pre-order (White Vinyl, Ltd Edition / Vinyl / CD / Digital) from the Talitres webstore.

“Mysterious darkwave entity R. Missing is making a case for shadowy alternative music that is infused with hazily deadpan female vocals, gleaming electronics, crisp beats, and noir synthesizer diffusion.” The Big Take Over

“dance track for goths” Impose Magazine

“a hazy, danceable, synth-driven funeral march.” ABC News

There are some news we would rather not to bring.

As many of you know, Flotation Toy Warning released their second full-lenght “The Machine That Made Us” last june, thirteen years after their debut “Bluffer’s Guide To The Flight Deck”. And it is a great return.

The band was supposed to play a couple of french shows ( + Brussels at Le Botanique) late october, but we are sad to announce today that these tour dates are cancelled due to health problems. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment caused to fans, but that decision has not been taken lightly.

Thanks in advance for your undestanding and support, and we hope to give you some better news in the near future.
