Sci-Fi Romance plays folk music. When we’re loud, we’re good and damn loud. When we’re quiet, we’re trying to break your heart.

Our new collection of performances created during the various lockdowns of 2020, From the Plague Year, is available now. It follows our EP from Spring 2020 The Rain Becomes a River, which was a fully-produced affair that went out into the world just as the world was changing drastically.
Our last studio album, Dreamers & Runaways, is available here in digital, vinyl, and CD. When you order the record via bandcamp, you also get a digital booklet and digital copy of the comic created for the “Voices” music video. iTunes
