Romantica
Jamie Kohns on November 5th, 2007
Romantica are a five-piece from Minneapolis (well, four from Minnesota, one from Belfast, Ireland) that play a blend of Americana music that incorporates country, blues, and folksounds. From their bio:
ROMANTICA / (ro-mantik-ah) / n. / The fantastic tricks of gypsy men : one who is inclined toward the sensations of mystery and excitement associated with human love : one who is characterized by an idealized view of reality : suggestive of inspiration, deep feeling, subjectivity : a band of musicians originating in Minneapolis, in 2002, who are characterized by deeply felt poetic imagery enshrined in effortlessly emotive popular melodies suggestive of folk, country, and pop music histories; in similar traditions with Ryan Adams, Damien Rice and The Wallflowers.
Opening for Ryan Adams this past weekend, Romantica’s lead singer and songwriter Ben Kyle was joined for a new track by Ry. The performance is streaming on their myspace page now.
