Modern Romance is the debut album from Australians Dave Miller and Harry Hohnen as Miller + Fiam.
Between working on his debut 2005 album Mitchells Raccolta and moving abroad, Dave Miller found time to make it to a laptop and some instruments with fellow West Australian Fiam. The collaboration resulted in a fine collection of tracks for Expanding Records that combines his talent for exposing the elegant mathematical formulas within tracks with Fiam's fondness for subtle melodies. The result is a beautiful and diverse collection of tracks that will intrigue mind and soul, realist and romantic. The album goes in multiple directions, representing the two artist's current interests; with tracks containing the detailed and groovy rhythms of Miller's last releases on Background Records as well as the warm, melancholic mixture of samples and instrumentation found on Fiam's releases as Victor Bermon on Chicago's Hefty Records. Simple, personal and delicately executed.
