Press Release: New recordings, Videos and performances from
Those who have been keeping up with Ana Lola Roman's recorded work, live performances and video art know this is the beginning of what the future holds for new music. Ana Lola Roman's music is not yet categorizable. It is danceable, it is primal and it is sophisticated. It is Pop Obscura in a fertile burst. Crank it up or turn it down, it fits equally in the background of your creative studio or in the foreground for your bombastic dance pop crowd . There are techniques and layers of textural sounds you've not heard in a song before. This is the beginning of a solid new era for an artist whose swirling developmental years have generated sheaths of press, dozens of live performances and whose music and stunning visual charisma continue to inspire a catalog of video work by various directors and photographers.
New songs recorded this fall in NYC with producer Jean Luc Sinclair;
JIGSAW Video directed by Daniela Gast
Video for 15 MINUTE GOD will be premiering in Early 2011.

Ana Lola Roman is a Brooklyn synth-pop gem by way of Oklahoma who frequently pops up in Baltimore and Berlin, leaving a trail of lavishly strange dance performances and videos wherever she travels. ~ Mishka Bloglin - NYC
"Ana Lola Roman's canon of surreal songs won't let anyone get too comfortable in their seats. Ana evokes Thelonious Monk dancing with Joplin, Latin flourishes gone acidic. Her voice teeters from high Edith Piaf ecstasy to low Bowie-esque swagger, onwards towards a Nina Hagen schizophrenia. Her stage prowess is unpredictable, and down right delicious." ~ www.Gawker.com
"Ana is making a name for herself as a new name in production and performance. She plays a thoughtful, bugged out electro that joins disparate sounds with solid grooves, and haunting vocals." -Andrew W.K. - Santos Party Haus, NYC
"Much like Laurie Anderson, Danielle Dax, Gang Gang Dance and Rainbow Arabia with an eerie piano/synth and quivering vocal melodies, this performance artist, singer, multi-instrumentalist, whatever you want to call her, always delivers the unexpected....." -IN MADRID MAGAZINE, Madrid, Spain
