Markus Popp's Oval project has long been a pioneering force in electronic music, and Romantiq stands as a compelling chapter in that legacy. Released in 2023 on Thrill Jockey, the album grew out of Popp's collaboration with visual artist Robert Seidel for the opening of Frankfurt's German Romantic Museum, lending the record a rich conceptual foundation that bridges the digital and the deeply human.
Romantiq is a mesmerizing listen that pushes software-generated sounds into hyperreal territory, blurring the line between the tactile and the digital. Tracks like "Rytmy" layer demanding, repetitive piano sequences with intricate electronic processing, drawing comparisons to celebrated minimalists while remaining entirely and distinctly Oval. The album includes a printed inner sleeve, making it a thoughtfully packaged addition to any collection.
