Who or what the hell is ROOT!??
“Is this the new project from the creator of TISM? He’s denying it, but…” Elevator Magazine, Sydney
 
Whoever he “used to be”, one thing is certain: DC Root is this country’s most original, articulate, angry, funny singer/songwriter/spoken word artist, and the leader of ROOT! He is joined by two former members of Ice Cream Hands, a German-born movie soundtrack composer and a keyboard prodigy who has played with the likes of Eric Burdon and Crowded House. And there’s DC’s past, which he does not discuss.  
ROOT!’s new album is called “Surface Paradise” – an epic, hour-long “song cycle” that weaves a theme of modern life’s sinister subtext through a collection of tragicomic stories and characters, and a genre-busting mix of bar-band rock, lush pop, electro, roots and musique concrete. 
It’s the smartest dumb rock ‘n roll album you’ll hear this year.
