The Ropes started a new project with a more electronic sound called R. Missing and released an album in March 2017 on the Talitres Records label titled "Unsummering". Music magazine "The Big Takeover" wrote: ""Unsummering" manages to be even more isolated lyrically than The Ropes’ famously nihilistic previous work, fully embracing complete detachment. Musically, fraught guitar and synth textures paint an image of an unstable world, held together only by tightly quantized electronic drum beats and Shy’s coolly dispassionate vocal."
