Roomer

German alternative group Roomer are today sharing ‘Chance’, the lead single from their upcoming new album ‘Leaving It All To Chance’, which is out on 4 April via Squama Recordings. The album’s almost-eponymous single ‘Chance’, is accompanied by a gloomy video steeped in veiled imagery and opaque symbolism that sees singer Ronja Schößler holding light and shadow in her hands. Flame shards flicker through a prismatic lens as the song gradually shifts from straightforwardness into spectral webs of saturated echoes.

“ronja came in with this song not in certainty, but in flux. Chance became change, then became a name-giver, then something else entirely. Walk me home. Your words, not mine.”

With ‘Leaving It All to Chance’, Roomer don’t quite leave everything up to fate. The Berlin outfit’s debut album hums with guitar-driven heartbreak, pairing mind-splitting noise with seductive melodies. Capturing the gritty yet emotive energy of their live performances, the album welcomes in the occasional ear-candy, staying true to the raw physicality of a hazy club show all while sharpening its edges—crafted in true DIY spirit and released by Munich's Squama Recordings on 4 April.
