Roses Kings Castles have a chirpy one on The Sycamore Club. For those that don't know then you may be interested to know that this is the project of Adam Ficek whos plays drums in Babyshambles. I have to confess 'Entroubled' is actually alright. Phil has just shouted from downstairs that it reminds him of George Harrison's 'Got My Mind Set On You' Bingo! As far as acoustic indie pop goes it's worth checking out.Musician and DJ Adam Ficek is most commonly known to the general public for his day-job as drummer in BABYSHAMBLES.
As a member of the band fronted by Pete Doherty, Adam has seen the best and worst of life at the casualty-laden core of the music industry. What many people don't know is that he is a blistering artistic talent in his own right. Roses Kings Castles is the moniker under which Adam performs and records his own unique catalogue of quixotic, chiming, and blissfully astute acoustic pop songs. Lost somewhere between Belle & Sebastian's pastoral warmth and the hallucinatory six-string invocations of Syd Barrett, a typical Roses Kings Castles track is buoyed by the finest elements of classic British songwriting; by turns wry, beautiful, and bizarre.
