De Rosa are another fine addition to the heaving amount of talent coming from Scotland at the moment. Two years in the making 'Prevention' will hopefully bring the success that their last album gained them.
Their sound moves from ambient post rock to folk (I guess you could call them post folk) always with their delightful brand of heartfelt, poetic lyrics and very Scottish vocals. Subtle electronic beats and well used piano are at the forefront leaving guitars to blend in with the rest of the ambiance. The music is all very serious, with wonderfully bleak lyrics such as the opening line to 'Under The Stairs,' 'there's blood in my mouth this evening' there's piss in the snow tonight,' you get the idea pretty early on that they won't lighten up.
This is a great album and well worth the wait, although it's not what I would call summer music, more a late night driving album.
