About

Novel Romance is an international music project featuring original songs written by Brent Malnack. Based in Omaha, Brent collaborates with drummer Tom Cannon locally, while vocalist Lucy R. and keyboardist Andrés Blanco contribute remotely from Argentina.

The group occasionally features additional musicians from around the world, and has also recorded a number of cover songs — many of them paying homage to The Beatles.

Novel Romance is mixed and produced by Mars Booth, Brent’s wife and long-time creative partner. The two met in the 1980s while performing with The Modern Day Scenics, where Mars served as lead vocalist. The band released several records during that decade.

Outside of music, Brent is a veteran software developer and is currently creating an original puzzle game titled Sum 15.
