Letter

The name of The BlueStocking's debut album, “Algedonic”, means “pertaining to both pleasure and pain”. It’s a kaleidoscope of graceful insanity, full of suave irony bordering on the paradoxical. Focusing on the groups earlier creations, the album is a showcase of the variety of styles which create their distinctive sound: from the anthemic prog-punk manifesto of “OCD” and the ethereal lullaby of “Well” to the bluesy cabaret blockbuster “Never Ready”, finishing with the epic roller-coaster of “Look At My Face”.

Rhyme

“The BlueStocking” are a Moscow-based quintet who’s creations are often described as “a soundtrack for a movie Tim Burton is yet to create” due to their playfully dark theatricalities.

The band take their name from an 18th century term for educated, critically-thinking women - absolute outcasts at the time.

Taking inspiration from performers such as the Dresden Dolls, Sparks, Siouxsie & the Banshees, NOM, Auktzyon and Mr Bungle, their music is equally eclectic — uniting the rhythms of prog rock with a dark cabaret philosophy.

Their distinctive style is characterised by powerfully emotional vocals, expressive piano passages, a solid guitar flow, a smooth'n'sharp female rhythm section and masterful saxophone shenanigans.
