‘For those already familiar with  Bromide’s last long player, 2018’s I Woke Up, you will be on much more than nodding terms with ‘Ancient Rome’, tucked as it is right in the very middle of that fabulous record. Here it is given a brand new coat of paint courtesy of a Dave Hale remix which merely serves to magnify the song’s glistening melody, inherent beauty and undoubted charm' godisinthetv - top ten tracks of 2020
