DOWNLOAD: Roman Candle - Eden Was a Garden
By now, indie rock has been canonized along with the rest of Chapel Hill's traditions: Dean Smith, vinegary BBQ and sweet tea, and hilarious tattoos. If only we could have caught Roman Candle at Cat's Cradle, where everything sounds perennial and cigarettes are probably still allowed and the shots of SoCo and Lime are always half-off. Pitchfork's long called them one of the great unsubstantiated rumors of pop-rock, but to us, Roman Candle captures precisely what it's like to exist in North Carolina, all mild seasons and scuffed sneakers, where Built to Spill are The Rolling Stones and the law of options and longer days make everyone's playlists equally good.
Sounds like: Wilco, The Replacements
