They're not even from Britain. The clarification is necessary here, not only because the band's name is derived from Orange Juice's song, but also because they sound so British/Scottish. The fivesome is from the Philippines. They chose the olympic bear (mishka) of the 1980 as their mascot - a nice creature that adds to the nostalgic impressions of the music. And the artwork (also a bit pro-soviet, but from even more distant times) was created by an ex-USSR resident, another Misha. So, it all might be a coincidence, but probably not... What is left unsaid, by the name of the first of the seven songs, is better to be listened on the debut, and long-awaited album Cut the World released by Lavender Records. The album is under 30 minutes, just enough to be longing for more. In the abundance of music that exists today, Moscow Olympics is a true breath of fresh air. They sound like Blueboy, and like a whole lot more (influences on their myspace are all very accurate in determining their musical style) - Moscow Olympics yet sound like themselves. They are incredibly lovely, shoegaze-dreamy, New-Order-joyful. Sometimes it even seems like you're listening to shoegaze remakes of New Order. In the intro of Second Trace you can even catch a glipmse of Joy Division's Love WIll Tear Us Apart... Moscow Olympics is another example of a music that is light and beautiful like an early misty morning. Shoegaze, indie pop, whatever you call, they are filed right next to Blueboy, My Bloody Valentine, New Order. Truly beautiful, to say the least. Moscow Olympics are not from Scotland.
