Listen to Balto’s Latest Single ‘CA Luv’

Back in 2011, Balto released their folk-embedded album 'October's Road'. Whilst musically intriguing, it would almost appear a strange connection from Balto creator Daniel Sheron's life in Russia to his move to the city of Portland. Ironically, many of the songs from Balto's debut LP were written during Sheron's journey from Moscow to Siberia, in which he would bring to America, spawning the band. Dropping their 'Monuments' album in 2012, Balto have now unveiled their new single 'CA Luv'. The song, ripe with 70s - 80s Americana emitting from the production, the bridging of the classic and modern styling of rock & roll is definitely ear-grabbing and utterly enjoyable. Have a listen.
