Album Of The Week - "Music For Underwater Supermarkets" by Roman Angelos

Roman Angelos Presents Music For Underwater Supermarkets

Roman Angelos is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Rich Bennett, whose eclectic mix of genres draw lineage from the golden age of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, whilst sugar-coated with a contemporary shine. Through his penchant for neo-jazz, rockabilly, neo-country, neo-psych, neo-folk, orchestral-pop, industrial rock, dreampop and synth-pop, Angelos is an artist that can translate music without the use of words. He’s an artist that is cut from the same cosmic cloth of Brian Eno, experimenting from the same wavelength of Air, Stereolab and crafting his art with the precision of Burt Bacharach.

Following the success of his debut album, “Spacetronic Lunchbox” in 2020, Roman Angelos has released his latest album, “Music For Underwater Supermarkets” via Happy Robot Records.

Released in January 2022 Music For Underwater Supermarkets is an album that celebrates the mundane chore of visiting the Supermarket with an aquatic ambience, with a sense of adventure and escapism. It’s an album that is titled with humour, with originality and vibrates with warm nostalgia. It’s an album that unearths the relics from the past, and rips up the manual and remodels from scratch. Through his innovative vision, Angelos is an artist whose collection of instrumental pop, takes you to a place of exploration, reflection and solitude.

An instrumental wonder, Music For Underwater Supermarkets is an abstract work of art that speaks a thousand words that mood swings and mind bends in an effortless stream of alternating motifs. A versatile artist, Angelos evokes a sense of melancholy, sorrow and euphoria that trickles and illuminates in an oceanic wave of emotion. It’s music that soothes, uplifts and ingeniously transcends an untimely presence that reaches out to a cross-section of generations. Modern, but classic, Angelos is an artist whose pensive palette is intermixed with a whirl of fluidity that paints concentric comets in the sky and glows from the seabed of bioluminescent hues.
