For anyone who’s found their idols through artists no longer with us, Bromsen’s latest single becomes an ode to the character and legacy of those legends who’s art inspired millions. There’s something about those lost idols, their character living on centuries past despite maybe not receiving any or little acclaim during their own lifetime. But there’s also something even more painful and heartbreaking about those who poured their heart and soul into their art but remain unsung and forgotten by future generations. “Read About It” pays ode to both figures, a touchingly poignant and stirring synth rock record that’s pulsating but powerful for its thematic core.
It’s got an energy and core that’s deeply immersive, a flourishing arrangement that’s loving and inspirational but also bittersweet on many levels. There’s a darkness to it but it’s also deeply stirring.
