Die Romantik Calls It A Day

What a bummer! Here's the official word via MySpace blog entry: *After several great years of playing music together, Die Romantik has made the difficult decision to close shop. We are grateful for all your support and we hope that our videos and recordings continue to bring you enjoyment. We will also be continuing music separately, so please do not stray too far!* Learn more about Die Romantik here.

Die Romantik: Our New Crush

Try to imagine what would happen if a trio of Serge Gainsbourg-obsessed Parisian art students travelled across the Atlantic to form a band and win over the hearts of jaded New Yorkers hand over fist. Now open your eyes. That band you were picturing is Die Romantik.

After playing a tremendously well-received residency at NYC's Pianos this past February, the band has completed work on their debut LP, Narcissist's Waltz, and we simply adore it. Equal parts Kings Of Convenience, French cafe, and Bright Eyes, The Music Slut gives Die Romantik a massive seal of approval.

To learn more about Die Romantik, hop over to their official site and/or check out some of our favorite tracks below. The band's record release show is on June 2nd at Mercury Lounge.
