Roamer

Roamer is a quartet, named after the watch factory in Solothurn, where they rehearsed in the early years. The songs are written by Samuel Blatter, who also sings them and plays keyboards. The guitarist Simon Rupp stood by him from the very beginning. Later the drummer Martin Stebler from Olten joined the band. Bass player Christian Weber - a world-renowned musician who is involved in a dozen jazz, improv and electronic projects - only wanted to help out for a moment. He liked it so much that he stayed. <br>
After ten years the debut album is finally released in April 2018. With sovereign ease, it combines complex yet muscular rock and jazz rhythms with bold harmonies, without ever appearing intellectualistic. In texts such as "Sick Enough", "Bye Bye Baby" and "Number" Blatter addresses the state of being sick. Elsewhere ("What the Hell") he deals with a wave of depressive episodes among friends or with his very Swiss, unrealizable dream of being a "Rebel". The time for the release of such an unusual album is as perfect today as it would have been the day before yesterday or the day after tomorrow. Because music that does not follow any trends remains timeless.<br>
