Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

A liquid masterpiece of convalescent art rock. Submerged synthesizers and fragile, high-tenor vocals create a world that feels entirely underwater and deeply private.

July 26, 1974 · Virgin

A fragile, submerged sense of peace that finds immense beauty in stillness and vulnerability.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the fluid piano of Sea Song into the submerged vocal layers that sound like they are bubbling up from a deep pool.
The jarring, rhythmic mouth-percussion and breath-sounds that anchor the middle of Alifib.
Mike Oldfield's soaring, distorted guitar solo that cuts through the murky atmosphere of the closing track.
