ACRE 040EP
|
2015 repress. Romare presents his thesis on the classic love song, drawing influences from yesterday's sounds to craft music for tomorrow. "Your Love (You Give Me Fever)" is a deft fusion of footwork shuffle with vintage texture, already garnering support from Gilles Peterson and Huw Stephens. "Jimi & Faye (Part One)" is a chopped and screwed blues groove, "Taste of Honey (From the City)" is a breakbeat-harvesting anthem saturated in early '90s club-land, and "Hey Now (When I Give You All My Lovin') is a dirt-under-the-nails blues/hip-hop jam.

ACRE 032EP
|
Romare is a London-to-Paris transient crate digger, collecting dusty snippets of undead voices and antiquated rhythms. Once in his underground lab, these pieces of yesterday are chopped, spliced and reattached. This EP explores the connection between the history of African and African-American culture in the form of collage to create musical conversations between the past, present and future. Rhythms from Africa are integrated with voices from Harlem, conversations about race and identity between writers and ethnomusicologists, speeches from activists and the voices of prisoners.
