ROMAANCE Scattered Stardust and Synth Euphoria in ‘D.I.S.C.O.’

ROMAANCE chose to open their debut LP, Dust Among the Stars, with D.I.S.C.O., and from the first glint of synth strobe, they make it clear this is no ordinary dancefloor filler. Imagine a Kate Bush and The Human League mash-up, throw in a shot of Apoptygma Berzerk, finish it with the unflinching glamour of 80s Madonna, and you will be somewhere near the sonic cosmos ROMAANCE have crafted. So much more than a sequence of synth pulses, phasers, and chameleonic harmonies, D.I.S.C.O. is the vision of a dualistic force leaving neon confetti in your rhythmic pulses and the glitter-ball glow of transcendence in your chest. Each progression lands like a new revelation, defying its electronica foundations with humanistic oscillations of pure devotion as the vocals sanctify the altar we find on the dancefloor. The elusive collective, brought to life by Jason Wann, doesn’t just flirt with disco-pop euphoria, they command it with cinematic gravitas, turning Dust Among the Stars into a place for star-crossed dancers to finally find themselves. D.I.S.C.O. is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.  Review by Amelia Vandergast
