I bought ROMANTICO!, the latest album from Even in Blackouts, last year, listened to it once, liked it, then forgot about it, because it’s on Bandcamp, a service I generally forget exists. Anyway, lately I’ve been using Bandcamp more to find haunting ambient music to quarantine with, and rediscovered ROMANTICO!. I have now listened to it every day for the last week.
I am terrible at writing about music, so I’m not even going to try. What I will say is that Even in Blackouts perform a unique flavor of acoustic/electric pop-punk, and make songs that will stick in your head for days. ROMANTICO! is their first album in ten years, and is just as good as their previous work, if not better. If that seems like it may be your thing, then give them a listen.
Also, look at that fucking gorgeous cover art. How can you not want to own it?
