Why This Record Matters
Benefactor is Romeo Void’s second album, pairing the San Francisco band’s new wave and post-punk foundation with a more dance-oriented sound. It includes “Never Say Never,” the band’s best-known track, with Debora Iyall’s vocals set against saxophone and a driving rhythm section.
