about

The recent album by Roman Angelos "Music for Underwater Supermarkets" released in 2022 by Happy Robots, paints a sonic dreamscape where the mundane act of grocery shopping meets the future. “Music for Underwater Supermarkets” continues and extends Roman's obsession with library and soundtrack music of the past, fusing that aesthetic with childhood memories of being pushed around in shopping carts and visiting strip malls. Vibraphones chime alongside woodwinds and vintage synthesizers, creating an immersive sound that feels exotic and smooth.

This new single "The Aimless Aquanaut" picks up and develops one of the lush ambient breaks featured in "Music For Underwater Supermarkets". Roman Angelos’ extended version draws upon the influence of Steve Reich and kosmische music, bringing the listener into a state of suspended meditation. It is both meditative and reflective, and could as easily soundtrack one of the more contemplative moments in an episode of 'Stranger Things' as well as soundtrack your next visit to a spa retreat.

The Riptide and Rumble remix by producer/engineer Scott Solter is a preview of his upcoming full remix album of “Music For Underwater Supermarkets”. Solter weaves in darker ambience, with hints of early industrial, while still maintaining the aquatic feeling of the song, making for something soothing and spine-tingling. Solter’s full remix album “Supermarkets, Underwater” will be available in Spring 2023 on Happy Robots Records

Roman Angelos is the project of Brooklyn producer Rich Bennett; it was developed as a vehicle for Rich to explore his obsession with library recordings of the 60's and 70s, muzak and exotica. Beyond the world of library electronica, Rich has been involved in a diverse group of musical projects, including the newly reunited outsider/60s proto-punk group The Shaggs and Brazilian funk group Limoncello.

Roman's 2020’s debut for Happy Robots ‘Spacetronic Lunchbox’ was a burst of sonic nostalgia that boasted 11 songs in 10 minutes. Both of his albums for Happy Robots have gained praise online from outlets including Freq,The Electricity Club and The Haunted Generation and in printed magazines including Electronic Sound, Shindig! and Blitzed and he has received multiple BBC radio plays from Bob Fisher (BBC Tees) and BBC Radio 6 Music from Cerys Matthews and Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone.
