Roses Kings Castles – the music, the concept – always existed, but has only been born of late.
The music: a cobblestone bridge lying somewhere between the pastoral warmth of Belle & Sebastian and the suburban, quixotic pop of Syd Barrett.
The concept: an all inclusive, care in the community, musical workshop of evolving ideas.
Directionally guided by sole member Adam Ficek, the project first came to fruition during intervals within first love, Babyshambles. Thus began the perfect platform to air and share the artist’s songs and melodies.
.
As word spread, a release seemed imminent:
“…'Sparking Bootz' is lovely - all dinky acoustic plinks, shronky Steptoe and Son swagger and Ficek's feather-soft croon...” (NME)
"...'Un projet du batteur de Babyshambles: des petites demos acoustiques et délicates faites á la maison."
(Les inrockuptibles)
"Yes, the world does need a solo release from Babyshambles' drummer. Extremely cute lo-fi Northern Soul like Jim Noir making Wigan Casino on a 50p budget." (Planet Sound)
The cage door was opened, and out it flew…........
