Roman Ausen presents Night Tracks, his very first EP and a sublime and full-on dive into some of the greatest Parisian nights. Review.
NIGHT TRACKS – ROMAN AUSEN
With glimmering chords infused with disco, Roman Ausen has made Night Tracks an unforgettable and timeless EP. It’s an obsession for summery nights, the kind that should never end. It’s also the warmth of long wintery nights. Romantic and sexy, the formula is solid. Ausen’s hushed vocals are nicely highlighted by his guitar, which he gets sparkling throughout the record, both aligning with some round and soothing bass lines and efficient drums.
Moneymaker, a track Ausen had released with a previous project, comes back with a new shine, more disco, more funk, more pop. Yet, the undertones are deeply rooted in the raging rock that got me the first time. I am still head over heels for this cleaner version which precedes the gem Blue Velvet. Together, they’re forming a telling introduction: it’s all about the night at its core, surprising and hypnotic.
A Night Affair and Out of Time are easily consumed, as incandescent love stories that can’t be lived in any other way. The rhythm slightly changes, subtle, and dawn glows on the horizon, revealing the first lights of the day on Your Eyes. It’s time to go home, close the curtain and enjoy the darkness of a reassuring night. A romantic and delicate songwriting, warm and nagging rhythm, that’s what Roman Ausen proposes in his Night Tracks. And it’s irresistible.
