Las Rosas - "Christa"

Photo by Adela Loconte

Hailing from Brooklyn, Las Rosas's new single combines multiple standard rock elements in a way I can't remember them being combined. "Christa" is a ramblin' odyssey of a song, combining both Bob Dylan's more country sound and Pavement's laid back indie rock. Yeah, I know. How has that never happened before? They could have just stopped there, but the whole thing is wrapped in a pop sheen, along with a distinct psychedelic groove throughout. Plus, they throw in guitar solos towards the end that come out of nowhere.

You can watch the video for "Christa" below. Las Rosas second album, Shadow By Your Side, will be out May 11 on Greenway Records. You can pre-order your copy here. For more on Las Rosas, check them out on Facebook and Bandcamp. Current tour dates are below the video.
