While Rome Is Burning is another project from the multi-talented Rick McDonough. His partner in this band is Peter Kusek, who also plays with a great group called the Sad Accordions. The MySpace for While Rome Is Burning has been the only place to check out songs up until now and this little gem has been well worth the wait. This recording is a beautiful landscape of sonic textures and sounds, complimented by the vocals that deliver a poetic response to the listener. This is another great recording in the ever expanding arsenal of Rick McDonough\u2019s work which has a standard of quality and uniqueness with each offering. Definitely give this one a try, and also check out Rick\u2019s solo project Hidden From Blackout if you enjoy this record!<\/p>\n
