Romance of Young Tigers - Live


Romance of Young Tigers were an ambient quartet from Dayton, OH that I met through the Juniper Wait. My first exposure to them was their first album, I Have Supped Full on Horrors, which instantly hooked me. Romance always had a style and whole harmonic language completely their own. The band went on to reissue Horrors and release the Marie EP on Magic Bullet Records. Unfortunately they called it quits in 2009, although Seth Graham continues to record and release material as Quilt.

Romance were (and still are) one of my favorite live bands, and the Live CD-R captured them perfectly; it exemplifies their trademark cloud of haunting, rambling musical dialogue played at glacier-moving volume. The set comes from a show at Howard's Club H on May 9 of 2009. I released this on Allergic to Fun in 2010 and comes in a 5x5 envelope hand-screened by Seth Graham. Limited to 150 copies.
