The Baltic States
The Baltic States is a five piece indie/electronic band based in the UK. It blends techno and haunting electronica with hypnotic, soaring vocal melodies.
In autumn 2014, the band released their debut E.P. ‘Boxes’ which was extremely well-received by both radio and social media platforms. Singles ‘Kontrol’ and ‘Boxes’ were named as track of the week by a number of radio stations and by ‘Best of British Unsigned’, and received wide airplay across the UK which included being featured on BBC Radio 6, BBC London, BBC Merseyside and Amazing Radio. All four tracks from the E.P. were included in the top ten of ‘Fresh on The Net’ by BBC 6 Music DJ Tom Robinson.
The success of the E.P. was complemented by the popularity of the promotional video of ‘Kontrol’ which was uploaded to YouTube and which quickly accrued over 80,000 views.
The Baltic States first ever live performance was an acoustic set for BBC Radio Mersey in February 2014 (the only acoustic set the band has ever performed). The band is currently performing live across the UK and has already played venues such as the 02 Academy, London’s 100 Club and the Cavern Club (where they performed at the request of BBC Radio Merseyside DJ, Dave Monks).
