Sounds of Sputnik “New Born” [Ear to Ear Records] 
RIYL: Lush, Curve, M83, Hammock, No Joy, Twilight Sad
CD/ Digital PRE-ORDER: http://soundsofsputnik.bandcamp.com

New Born, the debut album from Moscow’s Sounds of Sputnik, is a kaleidoscope of reverb-soaked guitar, calculated drums, thick bass, and angular guitars intertwined with ethereal vocals. This is extraordinary noise-pop, with layered harmonies, interlacing synth and distorted guitars. Sounds of Sputnik paired up with Canadian-Ukrainian duo Ummagma to co-write, produce, and record this album, to be released on UK label Ear to Ear Records. Ummagma’s Shauna McLarnon and Alexx Kretov both contribute mesmerizing vocals.

This project leans heavily on a shared love of melodic dream pop, post-rock and shoegaze with each member bringing their own influences: aspects of Lush, Curve, My Bloody Valentine and No Joy cleverly blend with Hammock, Jesus & Mary Chain and The Twilight Sad to create remarkable “dream noise”.

Rewind about 12 years ago. Roman, Shauna and Alexx were collaborating a bit until Shauna and Alexx left Russia. After losing contact for an entire decade, the three finally reunited last year and quickly beginning to work on new material.

New Born features drummer Graham Bonnar (Swervedriver/ Brian Jonestown Massacre) on ‘Overdrive’, and remixes by Malcolm Holmes (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark), psych rock producer Fran Ashcroft (Damon Albarn), Russian producers Morozov and Oleg Mezherovsky, and Brazil’s Mind Movies. British producer Marc Joy (Mike Peters, Golden Fable, Primal Scream, Bernard Butler) provided mastering support.

Both bands have been steadily developing a strong international following, partly due to their impeccable ability to blend genres. "In an orbit of their own, they are gathering followers like stardust" (Nerdy Frames).

About Sounds of Sputnik:
Moscow-based Sounds of Sputnik is Roma Kalitkin, whose signature sound mixes post-rock, shoegaze and dream pop with a slight kickback to noise pop. Originally from Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia, he draws inspiration from My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, Sonic Youth, Happy Mondays, and Slowdive. Dubbing himself a "white crow", the music he makes has always gone against trends within Russia, both now as a solo artist and for the 20-odd years he played in various post-punk and shoegaze bands prior to that.

About Ummagma:
Ummagma began in Moscow in 2003, but finally released two LPs (Ummagma & Antigravity) in 2012. They recently released the single Rotation and Lama LP on Emerald & Doreen Recordings. Ummagma has had a full-page feature in Rolling Stone Russia, has won Alternative Eurovision competitions for 2 years in a row (Amazing Radio & Pure 107.8 FM), and received 2 awards at the 2013 Australian Independent Music Video Awards. Ummagma also caught the attention of Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and Malcolm Holmes (OMD), who have remixed tracks for fall 2014 release.

Label:
Ear to Ear Records was founded in the UK in 2013. Specializing in dream pop, shoegaze, and indie rock, the label originally began with local bands from Wales, such as Lights That Change and Indigo Sky. It soon grew to also include several bands from Europe/ North America, such as Ummagma and Sounds of Sputnik. This month, Ear to Ear also released a mini-EP by Lights That Change.

Lyrics

(verse)

Sitting still I wonder where should I begin

The words just won’t materialize and I’m in slow motion 

but you won’t see me now, you won’t see me now

as anyone, anyone

(Chorus)

So please, please talk to me

if just to see if it wont swallow me

so please please please talk to me

and let me go back to sleep

(verse 2)

feel the weight pull hard against my intention

if you would only look this way and break all this tension

but you wont see me now, you wont see me now

as anyone, anyone

(repeat chorus twice)

Dron3s

Named as 'One of Europe’s finest ’gazer bands of the last decade' [Daily Bandcamp], Rev Rev Rev remetabolize shoegaze and psychedelic rock elements in a loud, woozy, fuzz-driven way.
Their live set at Manchester's Cosmosis Festival, headlined by The Jesus and Mary Chain, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Raveonettes and WIRE, kick-started a 44 date tour touching UK, France, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, during which the quartet shared the stage with The Telescopes, Ringo Deathstarr and Gonjasufi.
Last March Rev Rev Rev hit the studio once more with Sergio Pomante (Ulan Bator, Lay Llamas) on drums.
The new album, produced by James Aparicio (Spiritualized, Mogwai, Cult Of Dom Keller, Dead Vibrations), is due for release next autumn.
