LYRICS
We don’t know how this will go
Heres what I’ll say, never say never and always

Would I explode in a black hole?
Or go back in time?
If I were to go back in time, 
would I get lonely living that life?

My father said don’t think too much
If you do it’ll all turn to shit
Turn to shit
Turn to shit
So pack up your bags and get on that ship
Its called the Titanic

You know what they say
Never say never and always
You don’t always know
Just how the story will go 

Life is strange that way
You earn an award then it rains on your parade
This is heaven you say?
It feels a lot more like hell

Should I worship god or make a deal with the devil?
Invite them both over for a glass of wine 
and say, “boys, you have some issues to settle”

You know what they say
Never say never and always
You don’t always know
Just how the story will go 

You worry about your future
Yeah, I worry about mine too
They don’t write your name in a book anymore
You have to write your own story for you
And publish it online
But they can’t leave flowers at your website
No they can’t leave flowers at your website
They can’t leave flowers at your website

You know what they say
Never say never and always
You don’t always know
Just how the story will go 

My father said don’t think too much
If you do it’ll all turn to shit
Turn to shit
Turn to shit
So pack up your bags and get on that ship
Its called the Titanic

Enjoy the ride 
I am right there by your side
Enjoy the ride 
I am right there by your side

LYRICS
Good morning baby 
It’s a whole new world since yesterday 
Sunshine or rainstorm
Nothing can change who I’ve been lately

Happy Birthday baby
It’s a whole new world since yesterday
Flowers on the highway
Tell me you love me again that way

Driving through Rhode Island
Your hand is on my hand
Love like wind through my weather vane blows
Telling me which way to go

Happy Birthday baby
It’s a whole new world since yesterday
Flowers on the highway
Tell me you love me again that way

Happy Birthday baby
It’s a whole new world since yesterday
Happy Birthday baby
It’s a whole new world since yesterday
It’s a whole new world since yesterday

Flowers on the Highway

“A quiet riot of ethereal vocals and lustrous guitars. Pinkshinyultrablast a valid insight into young modern

Russia via the early-90s Thames Valley” - The 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 Magazine
“Excessively impressive, unexpectedly fast-paced shoegaze.” - Drowned In Sound

Pinkshinyultrablast, Russia’s premiere shoegaze export, have shared their epic and ethereal new single ‘Songs’.

With vocalist Lyubov moving to LA, the band were deeply immersed in exploring new ways of composing and collaborating from a distance long before it was enforced.

They tells us that "this one is kind of an oddball. I think when we recorded ‘Songs’ we weren’t really sure what to do with this 15-minute-long beast, or if we will ever get a chance to release it. For some reason, this B-side feels especially dear to all of us. Possibly because it encapsulates a certain time of us existing together as a band, a very specific moment. We’ve been living in different cities for over four years now, and I think what I miss the most about us all being in the same place is the ability to regularly spend time together in the same room, practice, and run ideas by one another — just communicate and figure stuff out, side by side. I went to a Terry Riley show last December and he was playing with his grandson Gyan. They were sitting on the opposite sides of a really wide stage, pretty far apart from one another, separated by this giant concert grand - playing, pausing, improvising - and just kind of secretly smiling at each other from across the hall. When I think of the time we worked on this song, I think of those kinds of smiles, you know. It feels like hearing back a long conversation you’ve had with a dear friend a while back. Maybe you don’t agree with everything you’ve said back then, but then it doesn’t even really matter, because you know you were just able to truly relate." 

Pinkshinyultrablast have amassed critical praise across the board since the release of their debut album ‘Everything Else Matters’ and follow-ups ‘Grandfeathered’ in 2016 and ‘Miserable Miracles’ in 2018.

On ‘Songs’ they deliver waves upon waves of expansive guitars to form a truly massive fusion of psychedelia and ambience that flows beautifully, awash with blissful synths and their trademark celestial vocals.
