Trillionaire - Romulus

If there's one good thing to have come of COVID it's the seemingly endless side projects and collaborations coming out that probably would never have materialized otherwise. Trillionaire is one such project where massive amounts of talent have come to release something that one might not have expected these collaborators to do. It's not what you might expect from current and former members of Inter Arma, Revocation, KEN Mode and A Fucking Elephant but it sure is good! It's beautifully produced and certainly worth many a listen. 

Their debut album, Romulus is a brilliantly put together and elegant piece of modern rock. It's interesting because while the musicians are clearly great players you can't really hear elements of their other bands in the sound. In fact in some ways this record seems to be almost a rejection of that pointing towards an entirely different future. But that's what makes Trillionaire so appealing, it's an unexpected offering, but its big choruses and layered guitars actually add to the magic. I love when things subvert expectations and show you unique new sides of the artists involved. While this collaboration certainly is subversive it's also one that can't help but to capture the imagination. 

There are a lot of layers on this offering and devout listeners will find themselves endlessly unpacking the layers within. Romulus is an intense record that requires a few listens to really get. While there are certainly trappings of mainstream rock the guys are clearly not afraid to get into more intense and weird territories. The end result is something exciting and interesting that you're going to want to lose yourself in - there is just simply so much to love. How could you not let yourself get immersed in these golden waves of sound?
