Taken from Romance's debut album 'Fade Into You' (ELP076) out now on Ecstatic

Romance's debut album proper 'Fade Into You' is a mesmerizing journey through the emotions of love and heartbreak, with a masterful blend of symphonic textures and collaged samples into ethereal studies in sound. Loosely inspired by Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s acidic 1975 melodrama ’The Bitter Tears Of Petra Von Kant’ an unforgiving dissection of the toxic relationship between a haughty fashion designer and a beautiful but icy ingenue, it’s a story where elegant surfaces hide tooth-and-claw instincts.

'Fade Into You' is a deeply textured and beguiling album that transports the listener to that world of faded glamour, desperate longing and narcissistic fantasy. The swelling orchestral arrangements, cathartic cadences and bejewelled sound collages create a sense of nostalgia cut with glazed neurosis while the swelling arrangements provide a lush and cinematic backdrop that perfectly soundtracks the wrenching intimacy and mysteries of love.

Following on the promise of 2022's iconic Celine Dion sampling 'Once Upon A Time’ and a brace of thrilling collabs with Lynch protege Dean Hurley and the mythological Old Testament ambient 'Eyes Of fade' collab album with Not Waving, 'Fade Into You’ provides a definitive and essential statement on the Romance sound.

Don't Forget It

@jamesk_1 tugs hard on the heart strings for @tobago-tracks' new guitar-focused compilation.

Achingly beautiful stuff from a comp bowing at the altar of the axe. From fret-burners and dive-bombers to billowing introspection, ‘Through the Fire and Flames’ is a homage to guitar music in the broadest sense.

Poised between romantic allure and forlorn abstraction, the multidisciplinary pop fantasist turns out some sublime, heart-on-sleeve shoegaze.

‘Through the Fire and Flames’ is out June 9th on TT.
