The new disc falls across several genres, according to his label. Romano' last CD "If I've Only One Time Askin'," currently nominated for a Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for Adult Alternative Album of the Year, was country.

Romano will play SXSW next week before a more extensive European tour this summer.

The new disc's opening track "Valerie Leon" premiered yesterday on The Line Of Best Fit, with a Sixties sound and country leanings as well.

The track list is:
1. Valerie Leon
2. I Had To Hide Your Poem In A Song
3. Toulouse (Feat. Rachel McAdams)
4. Hunger Is A Dream You Die In
5. Mr. E. Me
6. One Hundred Regrets Avenue
7. I'm Alone Now
8. Sorrow (For Leonard And William)
9. (Gone Is) All But A Quarry Of Stone
10. Maybe Remember Me
11. The Collector
12. Dead Medium

"Mosey" was self-produced and recorded in mono by Romano at his studio, The Navy, in Fenwick, Canada throughout 2015. Aside from the piano, strings and horns that course through the album, he plays every instrument including guitar, bass, drums, organ and percussion and also arranged the orchestration himself. The vocal performances vary song to song. "He had all the songs in his head. He set up the drums, we mic'd them, and then I rolled the tape," reveals engineer Kenneth Roy Meehan. "He played through the entire first pass of the record, which included something like 20 songs, without any music to reference in basically the amount of time it would take to listen to it. I've never seen anything like it."

While "If I've Only One Time Askin'" was influenced by the countrypolitan sound of the '60s, Romano's fifth album takes inspiration from Lee Hazlewood, Serge Gainsbourg, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman and Ennio Morricone and mixes together '60s French and British pop music, psychedelic blues, Spaghetti western, '70s funk, honky-tonk, country-soul, barroom piano confessionals and rock.
