Roman Numerals forms a sturdy bridge between indie-rockÆs angular approach and
the underground club sceneÆs throbbing tempos. This high-powered hybrid could
inspire even the most jaded observers to uncross their arms. While math-rock
intimidates fun-lovers with its off-putting inaccessibility and dance-pop repels
substance-seekers with its frilly frivolity, Roman Numerals meets in the middle,
crafting instrumentally interesting material with savagely catchy appeal.
Rather than resorting to retro reverence, Roman Numerals embraces creative
revisionism. This is the sound of the past informed by the future, as if Big
Black had visited early-æ80s era Gang of Four in a vision, or if the ghost of
Fugazi had haunted Modern English. Given that these creative collaborations
never occurred, this is the first time a group has blended atmospheric artiness
and a prominent percussive pulse with such precision. Rather than inviting
comparisons to its influences, Roman Numerals has sculpted itself into a
touchstone to which tomorrowÆs acts will be likened.
