De Rosa De Facto


For those of us fortunate enough to be acquainted with De Rosa’s 2006 debut Mend, the wait for album number two has been arduous and seemingly interminable; thirty months is a long time by anyone’s standards but given their lead singer’s aspirations, it was unlikely that the album was going to be rushed.

Finally complete and packaged with original artwork by Glasgow’s literary titan Alasdair Gray, Prevention builds on the promise of their debut and goes some way towards establishing De Rosa as one of the most accomplished and (dare we say it) cerebral bands writing today. It’s certainly been a long wait, but for many, Prevention will be one of the anticipated releases of 2009. It's released in March so prepare yourself accordingly. Check out the single below...it's a moody corker of a tune. Think Death Cab for Cutie w/Scottish accents and you'll kind of have the general idea.
