Live Review: LISTEN: Fort Romeau 'Stay True'

18 August 2013 | 12:00 am | Lauren Payne

Fort Romeau has released the first single off his new EP entitled 'Stay True' which is something really wonderful.

London-based producer FORT ROMEAU has exciting news for us all. The man is dropping a new EP and we couldn't be happier considering his last track "Jetee"/"Desire", kind of blew us all away when it was released back in June.

FORT ROMEAU has a talent for creating some really ethereal electronic numbers that just aren't that easy to forget. Similar to WASHED OUT, but with a bit more crunch, FORT ROMEAU is coming up in leaps and bounds and his new single has definitely got me even more excited about his upcoming EP.

The new track is called 'Stay True' and debuted on Pitchfork with them describing the track as a "distinctly murky euphoria", and honestly, they've hit the nail on the head. 'Stay True' sounds almost industrial with it's tangy synths that bounce throughout the track with the melody standing strong as a beaming synths pops in and out as well.

The track reminds you of a lighter NINE INCH NAILS track, and it's interesting to see how 'Stay True' can remind you of a particular sound, but also be totally different at the same time. FORT ROMEAU definitely plays around with some harder hitting sounds than we expected but it works well, especially with the echoing synths that tend to hover above the track like ghosts. 'Stay True' is a track I can't wait to listen to on a nice walk because I know it'll help my mind wander and who knows where it'll take it.

FORT ROMEAUS's new EP is entitled Stay/True, making clear that this new track is pretty much the title track to the EP. Stay/True is to be released through Ghostly on September 16, and be ready for something big because if this is only one track taken from the EP, imagine what the others must be like.
