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

•	“It's one of those records that make you want to listen all day long. It's all there: guitar waves, distant voices, melodies and electrostatic. It's impossible not to play this on repeat." Sinewave

•	“In our minds, they’re the most interesting shoegaze band in the world right now.” The Dumbing Of America

‘Umi’ – first single to be taken from ‘Everything Else Matters’ due out in January.

Pinkshinyultrablast, are a five-piece band from Saint-Petersburg in Russia. The first single ‘Umi’ is due for release on November 10th. The song is indicative of an album full of melodic gems. Umi is rich with complexity, while underpinned with a beauty that both beguiles and entrances. The song evokes the spirit of bands like Slowdive and The Cocteau Twins, but at the same time remaining undeniably modern.

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 a sound 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 exists a sparseness to their sound, that, in turn gives spaciousness, even expansiveness.

Welcome to your new favourite Russian band.

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

Track 2 of Danxia's debut self-titled EP,available to download from Bandcamp.

Closer

Heartbeat, my hands are shaking 
Your eyes, fireside conversation 

You’ll never leave me here I feel it in my heart
You’ll never realize we’re better off apart
So don’t let go
I'll hold you so
 
Can’t stop thinking about it 
Maybe I like where this has gone

I’m climbing higher for you every single day 
But we're not perfect, maybe I think that’s okay
So don’t let go 
I'll love you so

No Joy - "Hare Tarot Lies"

Monochromatic Visions was first conceived in 2014 

Juxtaposing dark sonics with luminous songwriting, the music of Monochromatic Visions has morphed into a marriage of shoegaze - psych and post-punk with noise pop inflections that echo bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Cure, The Raveonettes, Joy Division.
