Escape with Romeo – Suspicious Bliss (Digital/CD Album – Zeit.Klang Records)

Escape With Romeo returns with their first new album since 2015. This year, the German band led by Thomas Elbern also celebrates 35 years of existence. Following a few EP releases, their new full length features 14 songs inspired by our dystopian world. This theme has proven to be highly inspiring, resulting in beautifully crafted tracks. Each song is a work of art, imbued with a certain melancholy, where guitars and electronics seamlessly merge to create an exciting and cohesive whole. At times ethereal and even slightly psychedelic, as in the opening track, the album also explores danceable rhythms and grooves driven by dynamic sequences in other songs. This variety places the work somewhere between Rock-Wave and melancholic Pop, with a polished, meticulous achievement. Adding to its elegance, Thomas Elbern’s vocals are complemented by a female voice on several tracks, bringing a delicate yet powerful nuance to the compositions. While it would be an overstatement to say Escape With Romeo has entirely reinvented themselves, this album feels more refined and perhaps even more accessible than ever. A triumphant and noteworthy return! (Rating:8½).
