Rome - Flowers From Exile


Dark folk, Martial Industrial?

This album is absolutely phenomenal. One of the best albums of 2009. Although I would prefer to not post an album so near its release, I also feel this is so great that people should definitely hear this.

"Flowers From Exile is supposedly based upon the events of the Spanish Civil War, a conflict in which Retuer's family partook. The various samples used throughout the album, as well as its exotic arrangements, intimate an atmosphere of conflict and resignation, but specifics never quite materialize the way they would in folk music or songs of political protest. More plainly, Flowers tackles the familiar topics of isolation, desperation, and displacement whether it be political, familial, or religious in scope." - Lucas Schleicher

This album is highly recommended.
