Near Pines INFO ROM is a post-rock project between the American popstar Roberto Carlos Lange (aka Helado Negro) and Matt Crum. Despite having been recorded over the span of three years, and in various locations in different cities, ROM™s sophomore šFoot Signal› effort is an entirely cohesive sonic outing. That they used mostly broken instruments throughout the process only reinforces that soundscape they sought to create. That they played them even with their feet as the title reveals gives us a slight visual hint at the anarchy of the sessions. Could they have used an organ that stayed in tune? Probably. But taping its keys down and pressing record in hopes to document something at all usable is part of the random fabric that makes ROM™s music so incredibly transcendent.
