It’s difficult to keep up with Daniel Romano. Every few
months he’s shifted style and image.
Romano’s latest
album (following two last year alone), Modern
Pressure, is released on 19 May and promises to be a long way from his
country phase. New wave new single ‘When I Learned Your Name’ channels
late 70s Costello/Lowe mixed with a Shot
of Love Dylan. Like almost everything Romano touches, it’s fantastic.
Previous single ‘Roya’ is slower burner but even better and the live track, the
unreleased ‘You’d Think, I’d Think, I Had Enough But Something Keeps Me Coming Back
For More’, was probably something Daniel cooked up for breakfast that morning.
These three only touch the surface from a prolific period; check out also the pedal steel treatment given to his punk phase 'I Wanna Put My Tears Back In' and the super stylish video for 'I Had To Hide Your Poem (In A Song)' filmed on the Queen Mary II.
