Daniel Romano announces new album Modern Pressure, shares lead single "Roya"

It's Romano's seventh record in as many years, and follows last year's Mosey.

"Modern Pressure is a collection of spiritual songs," Romano says in a statement about the new album." The sound of the moment reverberating into the future. Like the music of the spheres, these melodies and verses are both pertinent and timeless. There is a desperate cry for revolt, there is a vulnerability in its stoicism. There is a rapturous callowness within the form. There is an ovation for the matriarchy in this virile world. These are collectively and peculiarly our modern pressure."

Continuing, explaining the ideas behind the first preview, Romano says: "'Roya' is a celebration of women. 'Roya' is to represent the femininity in nature and the universal She. This is a devotional memoir pertaining to the strength, endurance, spirit, and godlike gravity of our mothers, sisters, lovers, and friends."
