In drudgeries hold, when concentration is poor Agitation inside, the words they won't form Resolved that you're lost, to whispers and shades Try to think of your face, so the memory fades I dream of you regardless Whether I am asleep or awake Whether I am asleep or awake I dream of you, regardless It seems there's no way of escape It seems there's no way of escape There's a picture of us, I didn't ask for it though I've made many mistakes; they're all in that photo And day passes day, and I think of you less No shame in my heart, no love left to process I dream of you regardless Whether I am asleep or awake Whether I am asleep or awake I dream of you, regardless It seems there's no way of escape It seems there's no way of escape I dream of you regardless Whether I am asleep or awake Whether I am asleep or awake I dream of you, regardless It seems there's no way of escape It seems there's no way of escape

about

PRESS RELEASE
==============

With its washes of synths strings, tinkering electronic piano, detached vocals and layered harmonies delivered in Cromwell’s lush baritone, ‘The Winter Palace’ evokes an icy cold soundscape fit for the months of winter. Where the title track of his recent album ‘Memory Box’ is about losing the power of recall, ‘The Winter Palace’ is about trying to forget a lost love, but being haunted by them in his memory. Cromwell sings to his former love “I dream of you regardless, whether I am asleep or awake”.

With a majestic sweeping synth solo, that wouldn’t sound out of place on Bowie’s ‘Low’, sonically the song sits between classic new wave artists like Joy Division or OMD and more contemporary acts like Ladytron or Black Marble.

The B-side ‘Rod, Jane and Freddy,’ with its squelchy vintage synths and rumbling krautrock beat, is a playful technicoloured instrumental named after the performance group from 1980’s ITV children’s show Rainbow.

‘The Winter Palace’ was recorded in Cromwell’s home studio in Catford, South London and was produced in Brooklyn, New York at ACME Hall Studio by Rich Bennett.

Since the release of his debut 'Age of Anxiety' album, Rodney Cromwell has been featured by the likes of NME, Electronic Sound, Huffington Post, Paste, Shindig!, Louder Than War, The Big Takeover, Magic RPM and the Bandcamp homepage. He’s had national radio play in Japan, Finland, Germany and multiple spins on RTE in Ireland, on BBC 6 Music in the UK and RNE3 in Spain for whom he recorded a live session.

The Rodney Cromwell live set is a joyful mixed-media extravaganza, incorporating analogue synths, video visuals and live instrumentation, interjected by Rodney’s 'offbeat wit'' (NME). His debut festival appearance at Indietracks was described as 'like a spiritual experience". He has shared stages with acts including A Flock of Seagulls, Pram, Death & Vanilla, Rowetta, M!R!M and Steve Davis. His sole performance in 2020 was as part of Damo Suzuki's backing band. In 2022 he recorded a live session for Electronic Sound and in autumn 2022 he is playing a number of dates supporting Blancmange.
