Line Up
Rodney Cromwell
Rodney Cromwell’s debut LP 'Age of Anxiety' released in 2015 on Happy Robots Records, introduced the modern electronic lover to some epic retro future synth music. Influenced by artists such as OMD, New Order and Kraftwerk, it is an album with crossover appeal that equally embraces synthpop and indiepop, gaining Rodney Cromwell solid support from the likes of Malcolm Holmes (OMD) and Rusty Egan (Visage, Rich Kids). In Summer 2015 he made an incredibly well-received live debut and, with his band, he is now looking forward to taking his melodic synthpop to new audiences.
"Rodney Cromwell’s music belongs to the future" NME
"Sounds like liquid gold. Age of Anxiety has renewed my faith in the digital age of electro pop" Malcolm Holmes, OMD
“A reminder of good pop tunes from a magical era” Louder Than War
“A great summertime album that has a lot of heart” Gig Soup
"This is really just the best album of 2015" De Kettingzaag
Made almost entirely on vintage gear, ‘Age of Anxiety’ is an album that evokes the synthpop sound of the 70’s and 80’s while still being forward looking and sounding fresh. Krautrock rhythms combine with melodic bass lines, the chimes of toy instruments, the bleeps of antique moogs, ARPs and vintage synths, while the songs still maintain a classic pop format. This LP explores such themes as juvenescent paranoia, romantic despair, love and loss, panic attacks, and depression. Yet, despite its themes of postmillennial tribulation, it still retains an upbeat innocent pop sensibility.
The album has had press and airplay in over 40 countries. Multiple tracks have premiered on BBC6 Music thanks to Steve Lamacq and Gideon Coe, and on Soho Radio with Pete Paphides, and global reach includes multiple plays across numerous shows on national Radio 3 in Spain. The lead track 'Barry Was An Arms Dealer' is premiered in the US in The Record Stache. Press highlights include features in the NME, Electronic Sounds Magazine, Northern Transmissions, Impose Magazine, Louder Than War, Sounds XP, The Electricity Club and many more.
