Romantica – Americana ala Ryan Adams/Wilco
*Performs at Horizon Records, Saturday April 19 at 3pm at Horizon as part of Indie Record Store Day.*

Few albums released locally this year are capable of garnering such widespread appreciation as Romantica’s America. With lush string arrangements and delicate vocal melodies, Romantica appeal just as much to the Cities 97 crowd as they do to alt-country aficionados and folk revivalists, a testament to lead singer Ben Kyle’s dexterous songwriting. From the up-tempo shuffle of “National Side” to the Springsteen-channeling slow-burner “Ixcatan,” Kyle is adept at writing narrative lyrics and expressing sensitivity without turning on the cheese or being overtly poetic, making America beautiful in its simplicity. — Andrea Myers, City Pages
