Written almost entirely in a seven-day retreat in a flat in Berlin-Wedding during the month of July 2020, recorded at the locally popular Famous Gold Watch studios and produced by the safe hands and skills of Paolo Licari, "The New New Normal" is the brainchild of an artist after being released from the Covid-related "house arrests" of 2020. Full of references to Berlin and the contradictions of our modern society, this album goes into a more indie rock direction than usual, even reaching dance music directions in tunes such as "Torschlusspanik", the first one featuring Angelo partly singing in German language. It is not meant as an album to chill on, but instead as an energetic, yet considerate and thoughtful, piece of art as a whole.

Angelo Romano is an acoustic singer-songwriter currently residing in Palermo, Sicily, Italy.

Born 1982 in Western Sicily, Angelo has lived also in Italy, Canada, Netherlands and Germany. A talented guitarist and inspired storyteller with a peculiar musical style inspired by Italian singer/songwriters as well as bluesy and folk sounds he defines "indie punk/folk on acoustic guitar", his compositions normally cover short stories and poems, plus abstract themes related to traveling and human relationships.

* 2013: releases self-recorded album "Bitter Stories", and hits the stage around Berlin and Poland. In December 2013, he joins forces with trumpet player Giovanni Manunta for a first gig in Poland.
* 2014: more Polish and Berlin concerts are followed by a proper European two-week tour as a duo with Manunta, hitting the stage throughout Belgium, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. He releases self-recorded album "Mental Tea" later in September.
* 2015: after moving back to the Netherlands, performs a small Dutch singer/songwriter duel tour with Berlin musician and friend The Night Gardener. He publishes "The Last Pacifist" (arguably his finest and most mature work, featuring electro-acoustic atmospheres melding with the cello sounds provided by Laura Sánchez) in December 2015.
* 2016: small European solo tour around in support of "The Last Pacifist" throughout Poland, Germany, France and Spain, including two more duels with The Night Gardener in Berlin. After moving to Barcelona, he shares the stage with Irish singer/songwriter Davy Lyons throughout the whole summer, and joins forces with local cellist María Borrell. More live dates see him supporting Berlin/Valencian artist Lucho in October, and The Night Gardener again in December (this time as a trio with sound artist Juan Manuel Castrillo as additional member).
* 2017: new album "Southern Lights" released in August, and promoted with concerts throughout Europe (Prague, Berlin and Amsterdam), as well as Barcelona.
