Nest is the debut full-length album from experimental trip-hop duo The Grus, comprising of Alexandra Zhuravleva and Simon Gendor.

Based out of the charming town of Tver in north-west Russia, they create their unique palette of sounds using analogue synths, old-fashioned guitars from the Soviet-era, tape recorders and an array of handmade instruments and microphones. The down-tempo beats team up with a mix of vintage analogue synths, hooky bass-lines, deliciously icy atmospheres, and the band's trademark female vocals. This is a cornucopia of sound! It's chilled out, it's moody, and it's dreamy. Alexandra Zhuravleva is a master of vocal nuance, clear, present and all-in-all, damn good. The album is lyrically very poetic and expressive with just the right touch of tortured love.

Nest is a beautifully crafted album, a chilled tidal wave worth listening to from start to end. The LP is due out on vinyl in early June via Follyphone.
