Ninja Gun-Roman Nose
Sabot
April 12, 2011

Ninja Gun are singing a different tune these days. Gone are the alt country/cow punk stlyings of Restless Rubes. Welcome in the new, more beautifully mellow era that is Roman Nose.

I'm reminded of The Beach Boys and The Beatles when listening to this album. This is a bit of a stretch, even for me, but its what comes to mind. This isn't a direct descendant of either band, but more of a conglomarate between the two, with a little bit of country ballad twang tossed in for good measure. The songs are very calming with a romantic flare. Put this on the radio while taking a date to a beach at sunset, and you're in.

With this EP being only four songs long, I wonder if this is just a taste for fans to get used to the stylistic change. Regardless, this is a solid offering and I'm looking forward to hearing more songs like these.
