Rome * Tower [New CD]

At the end of the project's 20th anniversary celebrations, ROME rings in the next era of the band with a fresh and visionary album: The Tower. ROME's new and ever more mature sound is informed by a radically minimalist folk approach, with nonetheless charmingly lush arrangements. The Tower is an introspective and enigmatic work. Lyrically demanding, ROME's songs require of the listener a willingness to penetrate shadows and trace the inner drama of the modern world clearly, calmly and convincingly. In a time which celebrates noise, fame and convenience, here is the well-crafted antidote, a hymn of praise to obscurity, difficulty and silence. ROME's The Tower is an unmissable majestic experience that won't leave you indifferent.
