Monkey Killer Records Announces Operation Rolling Thunder’s Debut Album

Monkey Killer Records is very proud to announce the release of Dunedin band Operation Rolling Thunder’s debut album, III.

Since their inception many years ago, Operation Rolling
Thunder have been in the habit of doing things unconventionally; their live sets rarely break
the thirty minute mark, they eschew bass in favour of a tight two piece format, and they
utilise a sampler in lieu of vocals. Now their debut album is released on vinyl with download
three years after it was recorded.
 
Operation Rolling Thunder’s debut album has had an extended gestation period, having been
recorded in 2007 at the Masonic Lodge in Port Chalmers by Dale Cotton (who has recorded
High Dependency Unit, Mestar, Collapsing Cities and many more). The record was mastered
for vinyl in January 2010, and pressed in the USA, finally ready for release in September
2010.
 
The album is available now directly through the Monkey Killer Records website, and will be
available through selected stores New Zealand wide over the coming weeks.
 
“Dunedin two-piece sonic rock exponents Operation Rolling Thunder are a musical force to
be reckoned with. They create soundscapes that transport you to another time-space
continuum…” Vicki Anderson, The Press
 
“Throughout their unfortunately short set, ‘Thunder displayed an uncanny talent for using
dynamics, creating textured sonic landscapes capable of crushing the listener, before relenting
– creating claustrophobic tension within their music.” Sam Valentine, Critic
