With the release of Finally Free just around the corner, Daniel Romano is sharing the new video for album cut “The Long Mirror Of Time” courtesy of Exclaim!. The song celebrates “the unconformities of the natural and supernatural worlds,” says Romano. “The tangible world can often suppress our inherent instincts to shift our shape and transcend our surroundings. The long mirror of time is in-fact not a mirror but a passage of prisms. This song is for those who do not see themselves in these monotonous rays of light and instead remain unseen or further yet, push on into a realm imperceptible to those trapped in the mirror. The long mirror of time, reveals the prism faces, but not mine. Always dedicated to the freaks.”

Out November 30 via You’ve Changed Records in Canada, Finally Free is Romano’s eighth long playing album in the last eight years. Recording, producing, designing his album art, and directing their accompanying videos, Romano has had what understatedly would be considered a prolific output of entrancing, poignant and creative work in this span of time. Finally Free follows his acclaimed 2017 album Modern Pressure, which Noisey praised, “It’s sonically spiritual to 2016’s Mosey, and shows Romano continuing to sharpen his signature sound, combining elements of retro-tinged rock ‘n’ roll, country, and psychedelia to create a vibrant tapestry of tunes that feel just as at home in 2017 as they might in 1965” while an unnamed subjugate exclaimed, “No matter what he does, everything he puts out is better than anything else being put out by anyone else.”
Finally Free was recorded on a 4-Track Tascam cassette recorder with Romano making constant stream of consciousness commitments to everything that was recorded in order to bounce them down to stereo and free up tracks for additional elements. “On every record I make strict limitations for myself,” Romano says. “This was by far the most extreme, but I also believe it has rendered the most honest and liberating results.” Overall, Finally Free harks back to Romano’s early studies and obsessions in traditional folk music while simultaneously conveying a surprisingly modern and engaging aesthetic. Dense with wisdom and blissfully encouraging in these end times.
