When in Rome II

When in Rome

Polished synth-pop that bridges 80s nostalgia with 2000s production. Earnest baritone vocals over shimmering piano hooks and driving electronic rhythms.

It's like the 80s never ended, just got a little more thoughtful and a lot more polished.

A polished, nocturnal journey through memory and hope, anchored by a rich baritone voice.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic chugging of the synthesizers on track 1 mimicking the mechanical pulse of a departing train.
The transition into the live energy of Wide, Wide Sea where the studio polish gives way to raw vocal resonance.
The 2006 update of The Promise where the iconic piano riff meets a modern, punchier drum production.
