Daniel Romano previews upcoming LP Mosey with grand rock'n'roll ode "Valerie Leon"
Daniel Romano has detailed new LP Mosey and revealed a fresh taste titled "Valerie Leon".
It's a galloping heart-melter with '60s dust, brassy accents and big swooning strings, honky tonk keys and snarling psych riffs - Romano glues together a bunch of musical tidbits and creates one of the most epic, ambitious rock'n'roll tracks of 2016.
Romano has also detailed a new UK tour for May, which includes a London headline date at The Lexington, presented by us at Best Fit.
Mosey is released May 27 via New West. It follows last year's If I've Only One Time Askin'.
