The last time we spoke to roman around they had just released their single and music video Bear The Burden, which took them over a year to get to its current state with three different versions of it. Now they go a step further with the release of their debut EP Tell Me All About You, in which of course we also find the track we told you about then. Roman Rivera, the multi-racial artist who grew up in Fresno, California, and is behind this interesting musical project, invites us on an intimate journey. It’s an adventure through their neural connections, their thoughts and reflections, and ultimately, through their most personal creative vision.
From Good Luck to Rhythm, the eight tracks that make up this new album, Tell Me About You, allow us to get to know roman around much better. Now available on all digital platforms, this project includes one collaboration with fellow artist Trailing Twelve Thavoron on the single we’ve already mentioned, Bear The Burden. The eight cutting-edge tracks are filled with woozy guitars, glossy synths, and confessional lyrics. This is an approach to what is going on in Rivera's mind, their worries and disappointments, and their life experiences.
The loss of a dead pet, the systematic destruction of the environment or toxic relationships are just some of the topics that they address in this latest release, which offers us a mix of musical genres such as alt-R&B, post-punk and indie pop. Having premiered their songs Star Signs and Like Me More on the award-winning radio station KCRW “Morning Becomes Eclectic” and after performing at LA's KCRW Chinatown Summer Nights and WFNM showcase, this new album is their biggest project to date.
