Biography
To Rococo Rot were a trio from Berlin, Germany that formed in 1996 and disbanded in 2014. Its members were bassist Stefan Schneider (also of Dusseldorf group Kreidler) and brothers Robert (guitar, electronics) and Ronald Lippok (drums, effects). Ronald Lippok has also gained praise for his work in Tarwater. Their music was variously categorized as indietronica, IDM, post-rock, and krautrock. The band's name is a palindrome.
The group's debut album was released in 1996 in the form of an untitled picture disc (subsequently reissued on CD by Kitty Yo), with the more widely distributed Veiculo (released by the indie label City Slang) appearing the following year. In 1997, the group recorded an album's worth of material with producer David Moufang. Following a move to Mute Records, the band released The Amateur View in 1999 and Music Is a Hungry Ghost in 2001, and Hotel Morgen in 2004.
