More about The Roofer’s Union:
The Roofer’s Union’s first album, By Degrees, comes from months spent between their basement-recording studio in Brooklyn and a forlorn barn house up in Brewster, NY. It was born from blurry nights performing in Brooklyn’s small D.I.Y. venues, wrapped in feather boas and Christmas lights, pairing black Fenders with top hats and heart shaped glasses, to pizza-filled nights in their self-built studio, fine tuning their sound with equal measures of expertise seemingly years ahead of them, and the carefree creativity that only comes from a band comprised of best friends.
Even in the haze of the album, their distinct personalities come through: Arthur Szerejko, the producer on bass, Jake Chapman, the dreamer on vocals and guitar, Vaughn Hunt, the handyman and engineer on synths, Kevin Walker, the record label businessman man on drums, and Travis Tyge, the physicist on keys and vocals. Together they built a homemade space shuttle to cross black holes, galaxies and hallucinations to reach that elusive moment where the music lifts them off the roof, thrusting them into the outer space.
“Think Animal Collective meets the Unicorns, and you have a good sense of the experimental, infectious nature of TRU’s sound.” – Pure Volume
“This Brooklyn-based band of best mates makes electronic psych rock, and they have tons of fun doing it. The video for their newest track, “Smoke Machine” is well… a trip and a half, but with this band that performs in boas, lives for rooftops, and draws inspiration from outer space, we cant say we’re surprised.” – Culture Collide
