ABOUT STRIPMALL ARCHITECTURE

Ryan Coseboom’s fingerprints can be found on recordings and remixes by Radiohead, DJ Shadow, Low and countless others.  Rebecca Coseboom’s voice has graced recordings by UNKLE and has been celebrated by everyone from CMJ to MSNBC.  Together, they have been called “one of the greatest live acts on earth” (KEXP) and “a mini super-group” (FutureSounds).

Now, propelled by their love of late 70’s British and German electronic music, they have teamed with legendary 4AD/Mute producer/engineer John Fryer (Depeche Mode/Cocteau Twins/Wire) to produce their third full-length album.  For the past several months, the band have been stockpiling vintage synthesizers and effects to take their epic sound in a completely new direction.  The first evidence of this will be “We Are Not Cool/Dusk Drinks” – a seven inch vinyl release previewing the sound of the new album is out now on Tricycle Records.
