Album Notes

"Bella Koshka reigns as one of Minneapolis’ most hauntingly awesome alternative rock bands...Between eerie melodies, heart-wrenching instrumentals, and Laura Boland’s sensuously tragic vocal style, this band gives you an earful of epic sound." -L'Etoile Magazine blog

"A lot of bands are incorporating orchestral strings into their indie-rock nowadays, but nobody else does it in the quirky yet dramatic way of Bella Koshka. Minneapolis' chamber-gypsy-alt-rock quintet. Named after a research outpost in Antarctica plagued with volcanic eruptions, the album "Deception Island" uses the fire/ice theme to great effect, weaving between serene and elegant to explosive and uber-moody rock, like a melding of Tori Amos, Kate Bush and Dresden Dolls." - Chris Reimenschneider / Star Tribune
