Trudy and the Romance – That’s Not Me
“Trudy and the Romance are dragging doo-wop into the present day” Noisey
Trudy and the Romance unveil new single ‘That’s Not Me’, the final teaser trailer ahead of fast-approaching debut album ‘Sandman’, out May 24th.
The track follows retro stomper ‘Doghouse’ around which Noisey profiled the trio as part of their hyped Hitlist series, proclaiming “from happiness to heartbreak, and all the way back again, each of Trudy & The Romance’s songs feels like a Richard Curtis vignette”. Collecting these colourful scenes together is their imminent and eagerly-anticipated debut feature-length, ‘Sandman’, which is out next month, full track listing revealed below.
Vintage ruminations on heartbreak accompanied by swooning backing vocals that play off of Olly Taylor’s arresting vibrato, ‘That’s Not Me’ is a fine example of the trio’s interstellar time-machine tunes. Excellently distilling their flair for dreamboat-pop with nods to Jonathan Richman, LouisPrima, and Brian Wilson’s wall of sound, it also takes influence from film composers HenryMancini and Bernard Herrmann, and the golden age of Disney.
In celebration of the LP release the three-piece will be treading the boards at London’s Oslovenue, as part of a wobbly-kneed lap of honour tour through May. Their exhilarating live show ranges from hip-swinging rock’n’roll to show-stopping ballads, all delivered with a rag-tag punk ethos – garnering stateside approval with acclaimed sets at this year’s SXSW.
Recorded with producer David Pye (Wild Beasts), ‘Sandman’ draws the listener further into the trio’s vibrLant world, and follows the latest escapades of central protagonist little Johnny and his inner turmoil. Rocking and reeling through dreamy harmonies and dazzling guitars it’s everything good pop music should be – catchy, clever and brimming with curiously wonderful characters inTrudy’s inimitable realistic-cartoon narrative.
BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, Annie Mac and 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq count themselves amongst faLns, as well as love coming on the US airwaves from KCRW’s flagship Morning Becomes Eclectic show with Jason Bentley.
‘That’s Not Me’ is out May 7th with debut album ‘Sandman’ to follow on 24th May.
