New Roman Times



ARTIST / BAND: New Roman Times

SONG (MP3):
Smoke In Your Disguise / VCR

ALBUM:
On the Sleeve

FILE UNDER:
New Wave / Concrete / Minimalist

LABEL:
New Granada Records

INFO:
Few new-millennium acts seem to have gotten the balance of familiar ’80s-club emotional throb and original contemporary energy just right, but this Austin-by-way-of-Orlando quartet is one of ‘em. Songs from the group’s upcoming full-length On The Sleeve sacrifice neither groove nor heft to their quest for resonant quality songcraft. There’s an earnestness to their tunes that defies the over-it, overly detached posturing of so much danceable rock, that pairs the cool with an engaging humanity. Also, of course, they kill it.
