ROBERT ASCROFT & ZUMI ROSOW // NO ONE LOVES YOU (VIDEO) BIZZARRE MAGAZINE, RAGE TV

Today ROBERT ASCROFT and ZUMI ROSOW release their video for “No One Love You” from Echo Still Remains, released February 14th (Valentines Day) via Hand Drawn Dracula Records. The video was directed by Robert Ascroft and had it’s network television premiere and added to rotation on the iconic RAGE TV (ABC NETWORK).

Robert Ascroft’s Echo Still Remains album features a mesmerizing ensemble of vocal performances from Christopher Owens (Girls), Kid Congo Powers (The Cramps, Gun Club, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), Britta Phillips (Luna, Dean & Britta), Tess Parks, Ruth Radelet (Chromatics), Guy Blakeslee (The Entrance Band), Ora Cogan and Zumi Rosow (Black Lips).

The album takes on a further rich and dynamic sound with the recording contributions of Grammy Award winning audio engineer Ted Young (Rolling Stones, Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth), the mixing of Larry Crane (Elliott Smith, The Shins, She & Him), and mastering by Josh Bonati (Mac DeMarco, Wild Nothing, Slowdive).

Emerging as a prominent photographer in the 2000s, Ascroft forged his path through collaborations with luminaries of the Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, and Emmys from Cate Blanchett, Ryan Gosling, to The Killers, Mark Ronson and A$AP Rocky. With an innate ability to capture the essence of his subjects through his camera lens, he redefines photography, infusing it with depth, emotion, and narrative. A classically trained guitarist turned music producer, Ascroft weaves intricate melodies and evocative songwriting with cinematic narratives.

Echo Still Remains is out now via Hand Drawn Dracula.


“Dorian Gray – With Ascroft’s signature visual sensibility bleeding into the sound, the track unfolds like a hazy, melancholic fever dream-haunting, poetic, and impossible to look away from.” – LAST DAY DEAF

ROBERT ASCROFT AND BLACK LIPS’ ZUMI ROSOW // EMPTY PAGES (VIDEO) FEATURE INTERVIEW & EDITORIAL VIA IRK MAGAZINE

Renowned for his visionary directing, photography, and music production, ROBERT ASCROFT emerged as a prominent figure in the 2000s, forging his path through collaborations with luminaries of the Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, and Emmys.

Ascroft’s collaborative track and video “Faded Photograph” with Ruth Radelet of Chromatics turned heads earlier this year with its dreamy backdrop, and today the renowned photographer and musician shares “Empty Pages,” featuring Zumi Rosow of Black Lips.

“Empty Pages,” features vocals from Rosow and drumming from Derek James. The latter aimed to channel Mo Tucker — a shared favorite of his and Ascroft’s — as a percussionist, and Rosow’s vocal melody soars atop guitar fuzz straight out of the Lower East Side in the ’70s. At once mesmerizing and energetic, the song leaves room for interpretation. Ascroft’s flair beams through the music video (and film set photographs), which draws from ’90s Italian Vogue.

“the latest gothic masterpiece from the ever-enigmatic Zumi Rosow – an immersive experience that blends music, film, and high fashion into one dark, moody package.” – IRK MAGAZINE
