New York, NY (Top40 Charts) It is only January, but this doesn't keep ROMIN (Future Bones' Leo Pearson's solo project) from delivering one of THE EP's of 2015! "
Fallen" is a mind-blowing set of four really FANTASTIC songs (usually I hate people who write words in capital letters but this time I HAVE TO).
Leo's heart-melting pain-filled crooner voice is more than remarkable. His melodies are full of 80s synth wave drama just as if he had a young Midge Ure as co-writer. "
Breathe" is the hymn for 2015, there is so much comfort, emotion, feeling and beauty in this - a rare gem. If you ask us, Romin indeed could become our "saving grace". The vanguard
Future Bones synth-soundscape is present in "
Wasted", a song Romin must have written and composed imagining himself riding down Sunset Strip into the warm light, standing on the roof of a 1970s Dodge Challenger Coupé, in bonds. "
Fallen" is the next uberhit, a wonderfully tender song, still with a lot of force. Its multi-layered chorus literally lets your body meander to the beat, making it swirl up, up and up, and fu rther up. "Ropeburn" could have been a perfect duet with Björk, but Romin fights his way through the concrete jungle alone - for the upcoming video, we are trying to convince
Christopher Walken that he needs to dance once again, a tango with a zombie Salma Hayek.
All four are dramatic, creative, dense, outstanding, soulful, melancholic, eternal, ultramodern and made for everybody to experience and enjoy, not only for a few music aficionados. Emerald & Doreen's best release to date, deserving 10/10 points from all lovers of melancholic electronic indie music. This is a transcendental release: you will get positively lost in this marvel, and won't be the same afterwards, you will be a better person. Just the right thing in these turbulent times. We need more good people, folks, and support us better.
Honestly, this release should be played on all radio stations worldwide the whole year 2015, it should be part of the coolest movies and become the soundtrack of the best games. Really. This is so much better than most pop productions, and all songs come directly from the heart, no pop pope inbetween who thinks he can make a better, more mainstream sounding production. This is pure bliss.
For the DJs: in a few weeks, there will be a remix release with remixes from
Future Bones, Did
Virgo and many more…you can bet we are going to celebrate this wonder of the world adequately.
