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.
Prevention is an eclectic record that sounds like a twisted Death Cab For Cutie meeting The Pastels. It's shy indie pop with hints of electronics that come at you from every side and it will charm the socks off of you.
