No Trespassing is a 1986
EP by the American folk group
the Roches.[3] It was released in 1986 on SOS Records, and distributed more widely by
Rhino Records.[4][5]
Production
The EP was produced by Joe Ferry, Andy Block, and the Roches.[6] The trio recorded it after splitting from
Warner Bros. Records; they claimed that it was the first time that they had total control in the studio.[7]
Critical reception
The New York Times determined that "as usual with the Roches, [the EP] finds new things to say about love and its discontents—quietly but without flinching."[8] The Los Angeles Times praised the "enticing, soft-rockish title song."[9]
AllMusic wrote that "an alternately gleeful and wary romanticism empowers the whole set, as the Roches sisters' voices entwine as one, with novel harmonies adding cycles of tension and resolution."[1]
