The Roller establishes the mood with their vicious volume and undeniable presence while author Rebecca Bengal provides the story, Captioning for the Blind, a lonely, lost Hill Country tale full of absence and animal carcasses. Both are accompanied by painter Virginia Yount’s fluorescent visions of surreal and mysteriously abandoned landscapes. Inspired by this collaboration, the Roller wrote the opening track, Zugunruhe, based on Bengal’s story. The title describes an anxious behavior in birds, or as the sickening vocal sermon eerily declares, a “restless migration.”
