Rosa Alchemica - Baltic Beats




Fresh Fresh out of the Baltic regions now living in London joined by a Kiwi and Englishman the band Rosa Alchemica have now released an album called 3000 Miles 3000 Nights. The band show a strong influence from the well known Russian band Кино (Ki-NO) led by Russian/Korean frontman Viktor Tsoi.
The album title references the 3000 miles travelled from Estonia, and the 3000 nights it took to finish the album, exagerated only slightly. It's got the kind of music only an Ex-Soviet sort of influence could conjure and which is something that gives it an edge and a sort of freshness that some pretty boy bands seem to lack. Play the album to your parents and they'll tell you to turn it down but then what do they know.
