Rosa Vertov

Dream pop performed by the female trio Rosa Vertov at the end of September at Pink Whale.

Distorted guitars immersed in reverb, resonating, vibrating bass, trance drums, ghostly organs, ethereal voices. Dissonant, restless compositions, steeped in melancholy, send listeners into a dream world.

The Warsaw-based band Rosa Vertov has been performing since 2015, and through numerous concerts, their original material has taken on an increasingly disturbing form. Although they may appear to be a relatively classic instrumental ensemble, their compositions are fragmented by an innovative approach to form, dynamics, and speed; and their music is a strange, personal letter inviting listeners into their own dreamlike unreality.
