PASTE magazine gives the new album 4 Stars in their latest issue...."For anyone worrying that the Americana genre has
become a repository of the bad irony of hipsters and has-been
quackeries, fear not: Romantica is here to save the day. Singer and
songwriter Ben Kyle is the latest in a long line of European exports to
reinvigorate a genre by reclaiming it as his own: "God walks on the
water, I walk through the rain." With one foot still in the his home
country, one taking a tentative step into the mess of promises and
disappointments on the other side of the pond, he and his band mates
dust off the brilliance at the heart of America. Most albums with such
ambitious titles fall flat in the attempt; Kyle, in songs and voice
that sit comfortably between Jeff Tweedy and Ryan Adams, dwells
comfortably in the long shadows cast by his forefathers while leaving
his own undeniable stamp on the proceedings." Listen to Romantica on the Paste Culture Club Podcast
