Hear two new tracks from ROM’s forthcoming album

New York and Miami based Roberto Carlos Lange and Matt Crum are mostly known for being part of outfits like Savath Y Savalas, Helado Negro, Feathers and many others.
The pair also make up experimental duo ROM and they are about to deliver their somophore full-length entitled Foot Signal.
Although the album was recorded over three years in several different places and cities, it is an “entirely cohesive sonic outing” according to the issued press release. “That they used mostly broken instruments throughout the process only reinforces that soundscape they sought to create. That they played them even with their feet as the title reveals gives us a slight visual hint at the anarchy of the sessions.
Could they have used an organ that stayed in tune? Probably. But taping its keys down and pressing record in hopes to document something at all usable is part of the random fabric that makes ROM’s music so incredibly transcendent.”

Foot Signal will be out on May 21st via Pingipung.

The first two cuts from the upcoming album, ‘Whale Vomit’ and ‘Kids’ are utterly amazing and you can listen to them below.
