This EP represents a new chapter in the story of Less Than Jake. Forward we go into the Uncharted..."" (continue)

West of Rome just released their new single "Movement in Your Picture," from their forthcoming album "Keep It Fly In The Negative Zone" and to celebrate we asked Kevin Higginbotham and Charlie Roadman to tell us about the song. Here is the story:
Kevin: "Movement in Your Picture" is the first single from our new album, "Keep it Fly in the Negative Zone." This was a fun song to write. The melody and chorus came to me in a dream, which was inspired by an envelope of old pictures (and other crumbs) discovered in a novel never read yet hogging space on my bookshelf. How many years can Dostoevsky sit before one gives up the ghost of actually reading the book? Ah, but when it hides pictures of lost friends and lost love, perhaps its real estate is well-spent.
