Rome - No Second Troy / Limited Edition

With ‘No Second Troy’ ROME return to deliver a machine-backed interpretation of the European blues and a song that is an obvious hit the minute you hear it.

The unlikely dose of electro twang in a darkly dancy number concocts a seductive yet subtle blast of blasphemy in the world of Luxembourg-born singer-songwriter Jerome Reuter.

ROME are probably best known for creating near-pop hooks from chilly and ominous textures and wringing emotionally poignant choruses from the most sinister depths of the soul.

‘No Second Troy’ is much more forward in nature. Mastermind Reuter again combines personal passion with his passion for mankind at large, in a song pointing to the contrast between the Homeric times when there was the beautiful city of Troy and the times of “an age like this” (Yeats) when there is no second Troy to be destroyed and burnt down.
