Oval - Romantiq (Digipak CD)

Through exploring the shifting notion of romance across time and space, Popp sculpts spaces that feel both familiar and uncanny, nostalgic and futuristic. Much like the transient emotions it surveys, Romantiq's evocative sonics conjure flickering images that glitch, evolve and collapse in on one another - opulent neo-chamber music lit by the paradoxically heartwarming screen glow of social media flirtations. Romantiq's omnivorous approach to its core theme and source material provides a wry and expansive definition of romance, capturing in surprising detail the essence of this intangible, yet universal human emotion.
