Pinkshinyultrablast
Release single ‘Holy Forest’
Out 19th January on Club AC30

•	“A quiet riot of ethereal vocals and lustrous guitars. Pinkshinyultrablast a valid insight into young modern Russia via the early-90s Thames Valley.” Guardian 

•	“Beautifully toned and unconventionally fast, a gutsy effort that makes a big impression” NME

•	“A complex but sumptuous confluence of mathy basslines and waves of melodic ecstasy.” Q

•	“Excessively impressive, unexpectedly fast-paced shoegaze from these Russian peeps.” Drowned In Sound

Pinkshinyultrablast, a five-piece band from Saint-Petersburg in Russia, are set to release their debut album ‘Everything Else Matters’ on 26th January.

Hailing from a city more synonymous with the State Conservatory rather than a gang of shoegaze addicts, they’ve been compared to Lush. But this is no mere throwback tribute - due to their sharp, icy electronics and ability to subvert the genre, bringing something new to the table. They possess  not only the spirit of late 80s/early 90s British bands like Ride, but also machine-made sounds of the same era from Sabres Of Paradise or Global Communication, not to mention wider vibrations like Cluster, Popul Vuh, Terry Riley and Philip Glass.

Disdain for a stagnant scene can often be a driving force of creativity; the band say of St Petersburg that, “we realised the local indie scene was totally boring and wanted to play something radically different”. That vision has been realised – this is an album brimming with playful melody and finely-crafted songwriting. Imagine the scope of a Caribou record, fronted by Elizabeth Fraser soundtracking a grizzly Raskolnikov crime.

The band take their name from an Astrobrite album, an act who were, according to the band, instrumental in how they “researched spaces between ambient, heavy guitar and pop music” .The spaces are what stand out, the production creates a dream-like affair, while space to breathe and reflect on the beauty of the music is accommodated. There is a sparseness to the album that in turn gives spaciousness, even expansiveness.

The second single ‘Holy Forest’ is released 19th January. The song is indicative of an album full of melodic gems and shimmering shoegaze - euphoric with spectral guitars, its sharp edged pop has a radiant charm.  Welcome to your new favourite Russian band.

Pinkshinyultrablast are Igor - bass, Lyubov - vocals, Sergey - drums, Rustam - synths and electronics and Roman – guitars.

outside, you don't know why
tell each other in the middle of the night
talk about it like you really want to know 
what she running around for?

rat-tat the door unlatch
someone here to take you back
outside in the middle of the street
are you getting what you need?

thoughts of you 
running through my mind
open door but it doesn't feel right 
you look at me as if you know what it's like 
in the shadows of the streetlight

now i know 
I can't go back
you're with her and she doesn't deserve that
but when I look into your eyes
you see something I'm trying to hide 

thoughts of you 
running through my mind
open door but it doesn't feel right 
you look at me as if you know what it's like 
in the shadows of the streetlight
shadow, why's it a shame for me to love?
