- It_Was_Romance abstract "It Was Romance is an American rock band, formed in 2009. It began as the bedroom recording project of lead singer and songwriter Lane Moore. Years later, she added Alejandro Triana on guitar, Angel Lozada on drums, and Jeff Connors on bass. Moore is the chief songwriter, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, using an electric ukulele with distortion that she plays like an electric guitar and also plays piano, synthesizer, accordion, bass guitar, and percussion.Before it had even been released, Pitchfork listed the self-titled It Was Romance debut album as an album to watch. The Village Voice premiered their first single, "Philadelphia," on their website, calling the song "mysterious but undeniably attractive. It evokes feelings of loneliness with a danceable beat, not unlike a somber nighttime walk home on wet roads, with colorful, joyous city lights reflecting like a black mirror" and praising the album for its "glittering instrumental aspect and Moore's velvety vocal delivery make the rest of "It Was Romance" saunter around like the life of the party, occasionally winking just to make sure you're hooked." Bust magazine world premiered the self-titled debut album, calling It Was Romance the best band of 2015. BuzzFeed included their first single "Philadelphia" in their Songs You Need In Your Life This Summer and Curve Magazine said the band can "kick some serious ass when it comes to tight lyrics and even tighter pants." DC Rock Live said of the album, "I particularly enjoy the quiver in the female vocal work of Lane Moore, which is some sort of combination of Chrissy Hynde and Feargal Sharkey. Her songs also remind of the way a favorite of mine, Lovelikefire, integrated shoe gaze sounds while focusing on delivering heartfelt hooks. Ultimately there are many pleasant elements to these songs that are fully in balance. Listening to this music is a pleasure due to the smarts and skills of the people behind it." Broken Hearted Toy called the album, "Fans might have worried that Moore’s emotional power would be diluted once she started working with other musicians, but the new band’s self-titled debut proves to be anything but watered down. Moore definitely made the right decision is forming a full band."The band released a music video for the first single "Philadelphia" in June 2015. The video was directed by Moore and was an homage to the John Waters film Cry-Baby, with Moore playing Johnny Depp and Traci Lords. The Advocate praised the video, calling it "awesomely creative...the video will have you singing all day." Curve Magazine called the video "badass" saying it's "sure to leave its mark in your brain" and the video's John Waters-inspired feel would have "John Waters, himself, drooling all over." Out Magazine praised the video for exhibiting "that riot grrrl, DIY aesthetic with a splash of humor. The song is a catchy tune that you'll want to add to your summer playlist."".
