New Roman Times, released on October 12, 2004, is Camper Van Beethoven's first studio album of new songs since Key Lime Pie in 1989, the record they made just before splitting up in 1990. Having gotten back together in 1999, David Lowery and company finally put the reunion on tape, and they didn't come back cautious.
This is the same restless, genre-hopping bunch that once confused the Inland Empire's hardcore kids, still mixing pop, punk, folk, country, ska and world music into something slyly their own, now with a bit more weight behind it. "51-7" was the track that made the countdowns. For a band whose do-it-yourself spirit helped light the way for indie rock, it is a welcome return with the old iconoclasm intact.
