SISTRA – TELEGRAM CLOUD (Indie/Rock – Russia)

Leave a comment

Sistra

Born in the Russian Far East but now based in Moscow, indietronic outfit Sistra (aka сИстра) is finally ready to share their self-produced debut album Telegram Cloud. The record features 9 new tracks recorded between May 2011 and April 2012 and it is available for free download on the band’s SoundCloud.

Sistra - Tiny Boat     

Sistra’s sound combines post-rock riffs and heartfelt vocals with electronic beats and synthesizers to create something unique and compelling. At times their soundscapes evoke the cold plains of their native Khabarovsk, other times they burst into a flourish of colours emotions, but the result is always passionate and haunting.

POMPEYA – FOURSOME (Indie/Pop/Rock – Russia)

4 Comments

Barely a year after their dazzling debut album Tropical, Moscow-based indie outfit Pompeya is already back with a gorgeous new record. Featuring seven brand new tracks, the album is appropriately titled Foursome and it is currently available as a free download through the band’s SoundCloud.

Pompeya - Pitsunda (Пицунда)     

Foursome was entirely recorded and produced over the course of one month in Los Angeles at Bedrock studios (previously patronized by the likes of Beck, Yeasayer and The Black Keys) and this change of scenery seems to have had a strong impact on Pompeya’s sound. During the recording process the band soaked up a lot of different influences and distilled them through their new compositions, which sound more mature and assured than ever.

EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA – PARADE (Rock- Russia)

Leave a comment

It’s been almost three years since Russian indie rock trio Everything Is Made In Chine (EIMIC) released their highly acclaimed album Automatic Movements. After the release they wanted to move further and explore new grounds. They started to apply even more synthesized sounds and samples to the music, without sacrificing melodies and emotions.

Everything Is Made In China - Parade     

Max Fedorov (vocals, guitar, effects), Alexander Bykov (drums) and Phill Premyak (bass, keyboards) are now ready to share their brand new single “Parade”, which pretty much sums up their creative evolution of the last few years. The new track (and the single’s B-side “Brittle Crystal”) were mixed in Chicago by John McEntire (Tortoise, Jaga Jazzist, Kaki King, Broken Social Scene, etc.), who managed to convey all the sonic aspects of the songs just perfectly. It’s up for grabs now on SoundCloud!

SISTRA – REVOLVING IN YOU (Indie/Electro – Russia)

Sistra

Hailing from the Far Eastern town of Khabarovsk, indie electronic outfit Sistra (or more correctly систра) was created in 2006 by Artem Gnesin (vocals), Roman Lopatkov (bass), Roman Murashtov (drums) and Arsenii Sysoletin (guitars). After three EPs and countless gigs around Russia and Ukraine, the quartet is now releasing their new single “Revolving in You” through their BandCamp.

Sistra - Revolving in You (Mineguide & S. Z. Restart Remix)     

To hype up this new single, Sistra organised a remix contest ahead of the release and they are including the best remixes in the download bundle. Based on a combination of post-rock guitar riffs and heartfelt vocals, “Revolving in You” is a nice introduction to the band’s album, which is currently being recorded and should be out in May.
