Sounds of Sputnik “New Born” [Ear to Ear Records] 
RIYL: Lush, Curve, M83, Hammock, No Joy, Twilight Sad
CD/ Digital PRE-ORDER: http://soundsofsputnik.bandcamp.com

New Born, the debut album from Moscow’s Sounds of Sputnik, is a kaleidoscope of reverb-soaked guitar, calculated drums, thick bass, and angular guitars intertwined with ethereal vocals. This is extraordinary noise-pop, with layered harmonies, interlacing synth and distorted guitars. Sounds of Sputnik paired up with Canadian-Ukrainian duo Ummagma to co-write, produce, and record this album, to be released on UK label Ear to Ear Records. Ummagma’s Shauna McLarnon and Alexx Kretov both contribute mesmerizing vocals.

This project leans heavily on a shared love of melodic dream pop, post-rock and shoegaze with each member bringing their own influences: aspects of Lush, Curve, My Bloody Valentine and No Joy cleverly blend with Hammock, Jesus & Mary Chain and The Twilight Sad to create remarkable “dream noise”.

Rewind about 12 years ago. Roman, Shauna and Alexx were collaborating a bit until Shauna and Alexx left Russia. After losing contact for an entire decade, the three finally reunited last year and quickly beginning to work on new material.

New Born features drummer Graham Bonnar (Swervedriver/ Brian Jonestown Massacre) on ‘Overdrive’, and remixes by Malcolm Holmes (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark), psych rock producer Fran Ashcroft (Damon Albarn), Russian producers Morozov and Oleg Mezherovsky, and Brazil’s Mind Movies. British producer Marc Joy (Mike Peters, Golden Fable, Primal Scream, Bernard Butler) provided mastering support.

Both bands have been steadily developing a strong international following, partly due to their impeccable ability to blend genres. "In an orbit of their own, they are gathering followers like stardust" (Nerdy Frames).

About Sounds of Sputnik:
Moscow-based Sounds of Sputnik is Roma Kalitkin, whose signature sound mixes post-rock, shoegaze and dream pop with a slight kickback to noise pop. Originally from Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia, he draws inspiration from My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, Sonic Youth, Happy Mondays, and Slowdive. Dubbing himself a "white crow", the music he makes has always gone against trends within Russia, both now as a solo artist and for the 20-odd years he played in various post-punk and shoegaze bands prior to that.

About Ummagma:
Ummagma began in Moscow in 2003, but finally released two LPs (Ummagma & Antigravity) in 2012. They recently released the single Rotation and Lama LP on Emerald & Doreen Recordings. Ummagma has had a full-page feature in Rolling Stone Russia, has won Alternative Eurovision competitions for 2 years in a row (Amazing Radio & Pure 107.8 FM), and received 2 awards at the 2013 Australian Independent Music Video Awards. Ummagma also caught the attention of Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and Malcolm Holmes (OMD), who have remixed tracks for fall 2014 release.

Label:
Ear to Ear Records was founded in the UK in 2013. Specializing in dream pop, shoegaze, and indie rock, the label originally began with local bands from Wales, such as Lights That Change and Indigo Sky. It soon grew to also include several bands from Europe/ North America, such as Ummagma and Sounds of Sputnik. This month, Ear to Ear also released a mini-EP by Lights That Change.

MIRROR MIRROR, the New York based duo of David Riley and Ryan Lucero, bring their avant-pop explorations to RVNG Intl. with the release of Interiors, the ten-song follow up to their debut album, The Society for the Advancement of Inflammatory Consciousness.

Recorded in two parts, Interiors features the production work of Chris Coady (Beach House, Gang Gang Dance, Zola Jesus), who helped realize an expansive sound from Mirror Mirror's home-studio recordings. The other album half, aided by Joshua da Costa's monstrous and metronomic live drumming, was produced by Thomas Asenault and Zeljko McMullen at So Many Fields (Brooklyn, NY).

Interiors deals in themes of secret societies, escapist fantasies, and psychological extremes. "Sublime Objective" opens the album in the mind's eye of an adventurer attempting a daring mountain climb. "Under the Sun" rollicks under ray-baked guitars until it's split in two by a cameo from SSION front man Cody Critcheloe. "Dot Dot Dot" mutates an R&B midi-bass line, before "Sick City" tours an underworld of nightwalkers and plastic shamans. The acid-inflected “Starseed” adapts a futurist Timothy Leary lecture, promising listeners “bread and dope for a thousand years.” Album namesake “Interiors” describes a recluse who shuts out worldly distractions, while the stringed cavalcade of "Open Wide" leads to new psychedelic pop pastures. The album closes with "Overpower / Overjoy," an industrially flourished, whip-cracking serenade of sorts.

Στο Λαβύρινθο είχε τόση μοναξιά
Μας φύτρωσαν κέρατα
Δε θυμάμαι ποιος ήμουνα παλιά 
Μας φωνάζουν τώρα τέρατα τέρατα

Στο Λαβύρινθο έχουν πέσει τα λεφτά, 
Μας καλούν μ’ ονόματα Χριστιανικά
Μας ταΐζουν πάλι ψέματα
Νέα αφεντικά τα παλιά αφεντικά

Στο Λαβύρινθο βάλαν φωτορυθμικά, 
μας κερνάνε ψυχοτρόπα ντόπα     
Ρέιβερς έρχονται από μακριά
Να χορέψουνε μαζί με τα φρικιά

Στο Λαβύρινθο ξανά 
Θα χαθούμε όλα τα αλάνια
Και με πύρινα στεφάνια
Θα καούμε ως την αυγή 
Άνθρωποι και ταύροι

Στο Λαβύρινθο έχει πέσει σκοτεινιά
Ταυρομάχοι έρχονται από μακριά
Έρχονται για να σκοτώσουνε τα τέρατα
Θα γεμίσει η Κρήτη φέρετρα 

Ο Μινώταυρος είμαι,
Είμαι ακόμα ζωντανός;

Ο Μινώταυρος είσαι 
Είσαι ακόμα ζωντανός
