The electronic producer maps the tensions between technology, collapse, and resistance on his new album, out September 26. First track “Computer Love” is streaming now.
Romare will release his fifth studio album, “Oblivion,” on September 26. The record arrives with a lead single, “Computer Love,” a track that builds hazy trip-hop rhythms and warm analogue synths around samples from vintage computer documentaries. The song digs into the uneasy emotional space behind screen-mediated connection. Romare describes it as a melancholic look at “the future themes of love behind a screen.”
The album extends that line of inquiry. Across downtempo grooves, broken beat patterns, and brooding textures, Romare addresses technological dependence, environmental collapse, and shifting power structures. But the music doesn’t stay in dystopia. There are threads of optimism, collective action, and transformation woven into the record’s fabric, something Romare has carried since his 2015 breakthrough “Projections” on Ninja Tune.
Romare will perform at London’s Jazz Cafe on June 12. The show lands months ahead of the album, offering an early look at how the new material translates live.
