No Rome: "The album has always been on the way, it keeps changing"

No Rome is a busy lad. When he's finished chatting with Dork, he's off to Japan to shoot ‘a video' – no word on what it's for yet, it's all top secret. As are most things surrounding Rome Gomez. For an artist that has two tracks out in the world in total, there's definitely an air of mystery around the guy, and a colossal amount of hype.

Rome has been making music since MySpace was around (crikey), and started taking it seriously about five years ago. He was an OG SoundCloud artist too, putting out demos on the platform and working with other artists he'd met on the internet. "I'd just upload them for the sake of it really, nothing more nothing less – and apparently you got people who like the way it sounded."

Rome is an interesting character. Hearing his music, you'd hardly expect the influences he lists as his own. "I guess the irony of getting influences from bands and a lot of music from the past especially, and me having the capability to time travel with the internet to hear songs from when I wasn't even born yet, is I can get inspired from them.

"Growing up listening to like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and then having electronic artists like Bjork and Aphex Twin coming up as well so, they kind of like made that sound. Those are the kind of bands I genuinely listen to, and you could say I get my inspiration from.
