I was in a record store in Philly a few weeks back and Romantica was playing in the background. I just had to ask the owner what was playing because I loved it. He told me, I bought it, now I can't take it out of my CD player. Best group nobody ever heard of is the best review I could possibly give. Buy it, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not One Bad Cut on It, May 19, 2008

I heard cut 3, The National Side, on a Paste magazine CD and I liked it enough to buy the CD and to my surprise that is now my least favorite. Best on the CD is Fiona which echoes in a sad way the fighting in Northern Ireland. The vocal is clear, plaintive with an achingly beautiful Irish violin carrying the melody and puntuating the sadness of the song. My 18 year old daughter has Ixcatan on repeat for days at a time. It used to be my favorite as well. It relies on a bass that together with the lead singer's indifferent, matter of fact delivery drives home a note of fatalism that is haunting.
Overall this is a CD for quiet contemplation with not one mediocre cut, very highly recommended

How does Amazon not offer this?
Romantica comes to us from Ireland via Minnesota.
"The National Side" and "Ixcatan" are among the best tracks, but don't miss "Drink the Night Away", either. These guys are amazing.
