Romeo Bravo Bravo Tango
You can feel the spirit of punk on Romeo Bravo Bravo Tango by wht.rbbt.obj. This is a very soulful and human sounding EP. These days AI seems to be in the conversation. As far as I can tell it all sounds generic and boring. Romeo Bravo Bravo Tango is the type of music that contains the overt human factor that I’m not sure AI can ever replicate.
The opening track, "You’re Love’s A Crime," sets the tone with its lush blend of organ, chorus-drenched guitar, and a gritty rhythm section. The juxtaposition of these elements creates a compelling backdrop, but it’s the vocals that steal the show. Overflowing with emotion, the harmonies soar and sear, leaving an indelible mark.
"Heavy Petting" ramps up the energy, driven by a tight bass and drum combo, with the guitar weaving intricate fills. The vocal performance is dynamic, shifting from sultry whispers to powerful crescendos. The groove is undeniable, making this track truly fun and infectious.
"The Ballad of Kitty Collins" plunges into a darker, more atmospheric territory. The lyrics paint a vivid portrait of a resilient woman, brimming with attitude. Hints of Hendrix's influence permeate the guitar work, adding a layer of gritty, psychedelic flair.
"White Rabbit Black Sheep" immerses the listener in a fuzz-laden soundscape, enhanced by tremolo effects. It's a track that channels the spirit of Portishead, yet carves out its own niche with a unique sonic identity. The EP culminates in the highlight, "Dirty Love." The interplay between guitar and vocals is mesmerizing, crafting melodies that linger long after the final note, ensuring the EP concludes with a resonant bang.
Romeo Bravo Bravo Tango is an EP that just gets down to it. No pretense, they just blow on the embers until the songs become a burning flame.
