Berlin by Rome
This surprising new star on the apocalyptic folk scene sprouts from the punk and singer-songwriter genres, combining these attitudes with somber, experimental folk with a strong personal imprint. Rome is about emotive songs that are both catchy and disturbed. These songs awake memories of love and death, with the reoccurring themes of despair, loss, guilt, grief, might, and war. With the cynical opening line Once we learned to speak, we learned to fail, the band sets a grand tone for this exquisite candy piece of six exclusive songs. The first edition of this debut mini-album has long been sold out since its release in 2006. Now, COP International and Trisol Music Group are honored and proud to finally make the release available again. Some original artwork files have been lost to time, but the artwork here has been restored or partially reinvented and enhanced with a booklet containing lyrics and additional photographs.
