Seamless harmonies and soft pop melodies are difficult to deny when they’re delivered with such grace, and that’s exactly the case with L.A. band the Young Romans. Pianist Brad Hooks and guitarist Sari Mellafe trade in the kind of shimmering riffs and vocal interplay that appeal to pop sophisticates and romantics alike. Their 2010 “Yesterday Night” EP exquisitely soars to sentimental heights and flows with a palpable sincerity, and the duo is working on a full-length album expected in early 2012. With songs such as the butter-smooth “Lemon Tree” and the driving “Merciful Stars,” filing the Young Romans next to Frankel and yOya in one’s L.A. pop collection is highly suggested.
