*Ripper's note: The artwork states 2005 but this is a new,
2006 release. Enjoy!
This three track single for Bad Hand Records marks a slight
departure from Rothko's recent output. Opening with a burst of
static noise, which grabs the listener by the scruff of the
neck and makes them pay attention, this single has hints of
the layered bone-shaking noise which punctuated Rothko's early
days. However this is married with the subtle and densely
melodic approach to structuring and recording that the band
has been honing over the last few years. It is a careful
weaved and dynamic work, using negative space to great effect
to make a startlingly atmospheric trio of instrumentals.
As suggested by the single's title and the blood-spattered
artwork of Mark Beazley himself, this record concerns the
nature of internal conflict. The three tracks are informed by
the increasingly varied and disparate styles the group have
been employing over a very busy period in their career. The
tracks were recorded as the 4 piece, which has now become the
live incarnation of the band. Both 'Burn Darkness in the
Fires' and title track 'A Personal Account of Conflict'
featured heavily in the recent Discovery Channel docu/drama
'The Flight That Fought Back'.
