Absinthe Rose – “Black Earth”

Released in 2015 through Screech Owl Records and Riot Ska Records (with distribution support from Rodent Popsicle Records), Black Earth is the highly dynamic and eclectic second full-length album from Boston’s DIY folk-punk powerhouse Absinthe Rose.

Driven by the powerful songwriting and acoustic guitar work of Kimbo Rose, the record expands beautifully on the band’s trademark style, weaving together elements of Americana, gypsy jazz, blues, and anti-authoritarian punk. Moving fluidly between deeply personal reflections and pointed political commentary, tracks like Roots Of Anarcho and the title track showcase a full-band richness that retains the raw, organic heart of their underground folk roots. It stands as a brilliant and mature piece of work for fans of Mischief Brew and The Dreadnoughts.
