The Rotten Opera is a concept album that serves as a surrealist audio drama, a dark, absurdist, and often hilarious examination of artificial intelligence and the nature of consciousness. It features a cast of unusual characters and a musical landscape that is both challenging and engaging.
- The album was recorded in a repurposed Victorian-era warehouse in East London, with the band eschewing traditional studio setups for a more experimental approach.
- Upon release, "The Rotten Opera" received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its ambition and originality while others found it to be too avant-garde and inaccessible.
- One of the album's key themes is the uncanny valley, explored through the use of vocoders and other vocal processing techniques to create unsettling yet compelling character voices.
Puzzle is a musical outfit from London, known for their brand of art pop, electronic, and indie rock. "The Rotten Opera" was released in 2023, towards the end of their initial creative period.
