A figure walks the shadowy streets of Berlin with a friend when they accidentally step into 2003. Holding their companion’s hand is like holding onto their former self. “Close to who I was,” Ronja Schößler confides, in a hushed tone, as if sucked in by the force of the memory. Another time, they hope a random encounter will unburden their loneliness; someone to share fries would suffice—all this is on Leaving It All to Chance, the debut album by the Berlin-based band, Roomer.
Formed in 2020, Roomer comprises singer-songwriter Ronja Schößler, composer/synthesist Luka Aron, drummer/experimental producer Ludwig Wandinger, and guitarist Arne Braun, who has left on cordial terms since the recording of Leaving It All to Chance. For years, the three musicians have been regular fixtures in Berlin’s progressive music community, which has seen them undertake various projects in different styles: ethereal folk, avant-garde improvisations, and ambient electronica. This eclectic mix can be heard on Leaving It All to Chance.
