For the Discriminating Aural Palate: The Romantic Era – “Wasted Love’
The Romantic Era
“Wasted Love”
The Pennsylvania-based, eight-piece, self-produced group, comprised of three vocalists, an emcee, drummer, keyboardist, bass player and guitar player, cross the boundaries of traditional pop music. The only way I can describe them is imagine Neutral Milk Hotel with a female vocalist (as well as two male vocalists), with a touch of EMF Manchester rave, plus a dollop of Nenah Cherry and Cibo Matto. OK, that doesn’t even begin to describe The Romantic Era’s sound. It is so complex, so beautiful, so delicious, I want more and more. I could easily be a glutton for this music; it is that satisfying.
