Right now it’s raining outside my window. And for this mellow state, the perfect soundtrack is soft guitars by the British Benjamin Francis Leftwich, and his song Pictures from his last year’s debut Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm. У меня за окном сейчас дождливая приятная погода. Под такое настроение – идеальный мягкий гитарный саундтрек, британец […]

FM Belfast – StripesFM Belfast – Stripes
I somehow missed last year’s release from Berlin based Morr Music label – “Don’t Want To Sleep” by FM Belfast. It’s good that a couple of days ago, they reminded of them with the single from this album, Strips. Lightweight electronics for massive dancing! Пропустила в прошлом году релиз отличного берлинского лейбла Morr Music, FM […]

In no way a new track (it’s about a year old), but because it’s getting stuck on my playlist, why not post? In addition to a great sound, there’s also a lovely video. Ни секундочки не новый трек, ему где-то порядка года. Но поскольку он прочно завис в моем плейлисте, почему бы и не вспомнить […]

Kim Novak – The Golden Mean [Kutu Folk Records, 2011] Kim Novak is a band with the already-famous name borrowed from an actress, four guys from France – sounding absolutely American. They can be placed in the same line with Interpol, the Strokes and the like. Their second album, The Golden Mean is mostly upbeat, […]
СБПЧ – ВтроемСБПЧ – Втроем
Russian music is rare here, but it doesn’t mean that it’s non-existent. Samoe Bolshoe Prostoe Chislo is a project by Kirill Ivanov and “Elochnie Igrushki”. The video is from their 2011 album Flashka. I doubt that it’d be very interesting to listen to without the knowledge of Russian, as the lyrics are very good. Still, […]
