It just had to be in the middle of the night, after coming home from a decent dinner with a friend, that I stumbled upon this one. And it was because I was looking for some good old music, too.
The EP going by the same name as the band, Blood, Sweat & Tears, that I was initially looking for, emerged from french Ed Banger label. Something completely different. But, nonetheless, it had me dance into bed rather than fall asleep too quickly.
I can only say: Russian post-punk. Soft and dark songs, quite relaxing to fall asleep with.
The 2010 album Alps is making its way into my ear, late enough in early 2013. The fact that they are russian adds a little awe to the whole thing, especially because they’re so good. No flaws. Not scandinavian.
This band is special in the way that their music is dense yet intricate, noise rock and pop meet at a party, so to speak.
I’d be glad if I might compare them to Conor Oberst on a shoegazing trip.
Thee More Shallows – Book Of Bad Breaks (2007)
This is Adam Green, only more enthusiastic, a little faster and generally more … interesting. At least as funny and meaningful, but much more something to dance and listen to at the same time.
Fishboy – Classic Creeps (2011)
Zulu Winter’s long awaited debut album came out recently.
Catchy pop and disco tunes with some good drum work, as known by Two Door Cinema Club, along with a warm, dark sound create a dense atmosphere that fans of the Killers will probably like. The voice reminds me a little of Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, but the music is far more interesting and makes me move quite a bit.
