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.

(lyrics)
Can you see a girl
Who has a dandelion stuck in her eye
I know that it hurts
You need to calm down before it gets worst

I'll live for you
Don't make the same mistakes I do
I'll live for you
I'll try my best but you do to

Can you see a girl
Who has a dandelion stuck in her eye
I know that it hurts
You need to calm down before it gets worst

a dandelion stuck in her eye

Loveline (Lyrics by Magic Wands)

My love can play like a record
But it can skip all the time
And leave you

Hangin on the loveline
On the loveline 
Hangin on the loveline 
On the loveline 

Hangin on the loveline
On the loveline
Hangin on the loveline

Our hearts can burn like a fire
You’ve got a love that don’t falter
When I see you 

Hangin on the loveline
On the loveline 
Hangin on the loveline 
On the loveline 

Hangin on the loveline
On the loveline
Hangin on the love line

You’re heart can skip like a record
I might just play it forever
And leave you 

Hangin on the loveline
On the loveline 
Hangin on the loveline 
On the loveline 

Hangin on the loveline
On the loveline
Hangin on the loveline

Loveline
Hanging on the love line
