Where Myth Becomes Memory is the sixth studio album by English experimental rock band Rolo Tomassi, released on 4 February 2022 by MNRK Heavy.

Background and recording

The album has been described by the band as the final part in an 'unintended trilogy', following on from Grievances and Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It.[1]

Lead vocalist Eva Korman moved to New Jersey two years before the album's recording - due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this meant that she was unable to travel to the UK to record. Instead, her vocals were recorded remotely at a studio in Waldwick, with the rest of the band recording their tracks at The Ranch in Southampton.[2]

At Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Where Myth Becomes Memory received an average score of 84, based on 4 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".

DIY gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it "another truly original triumph".

Kerrang! gave the album a score of 4/5, saying that "it is a record that mesmerises without compromise, and which could not have come from anyone else".
