We Were Enchanted -- available now

we were enchanted album cover
iTunes / CD / vinyl LP

"...lush, subtly textured mini-symphonies of pop abandon."
-Jennifer Kelly, PopMatters

"If Songs The Animals Taught Us impressed you, We Were Enchanted will turn your head into a cloud of sparks and gold dust."
-Filmore Mescalito Holmes, Tiny Mix Tapes

"...it's a living, breathing work, one that develops and grows with the passage of time and with the listener, a complete but not completed picture, leaving room for interpretation and exploration and all the other things that make truly good music so lasting..."
-Marisa Brown, All Music Guide

"When Lambert and the band sing 'We’re all real tired of the shitty stuff,' the words seem to sum up their determination to survive and even be happy in a hopelessly messed-up world, pursuing the kind of modest, local, cooperative effort that’s helped Roommate flourish".
-Miles Raymer, Chicago Reader

"... the album discovers a brilliant coherence out of seemingly nowhere... it’s been an interminable while since I’ve been so pleased by a band... I’m blushing, I’m addicted, I want more..."
-Dom Sinacola, Cokemachineglow

Roommate is at its best here, exploring weighty subjects about the times in which we live, but completely avoiding condescension.
-Jennfer Marston, XLR8R
