Outfit (or Daniel Romano’s Outfit, if you prefer) follow their wildly enjoyable Too Hot To Sleep LP with a new 7″ on You’ve Changed Records, featuring two “mystical protest songs at forty-five rotations per minute.” It’s a seven-minute time portal to a golden era where rock gods ruled the airwaves and stirred the souls of millions.
Even If It’s Obscure is theatrical and grand, teetering on the edge of classic rock opera. It’s an escapist trip, full of hushed tension and cathartic payoff. Sweet Dew Of The Kingdom feels like a natural extension—an epilogue, maybe—but one that leaves you longing to replay the entire thing.
I’ll be seeing the band for the first time this summer on their European tour, and I can’t wait.
