about

'The Sleekit Thief' is AlbaRoma's first studio album. Drawing influences from the musical traditions of the Middle East, Eastern Europe, punk, disco, classical, Celtic folk and prog rock the album is held together by the danceability of the tunes and the unashamedly political message of the lyrics. The result is the perfect party soundtrack to accompany the collapse of the neo-liberal world order.
