cИстра - All My Friends Were Dead (2011)


Mimonot
Bandcamp
Lastfm

9.3

/Alternative pop, Dream pop, Soft rock, Covers, Electronic pop/

Comment: great 3 tracks from Khabarovsk, Russia. You can find out from there some sort of sensible chart-appealed indie pop with some dance vibes and new wave-esque influences a la the late period Talk Talk running its post-rock path through the erstwhile shapes of synth pop. You can feel such kind of feeling while listening to their cover version of Dubstar`s Stars.

The Slides (2008)


Mimonot

8.7

/Blues rock, Pop punk, Alternative pop/rock, Post-punk/


Comment: By any means, this is an eminent alternative pop/rock album. Firstly, it is irresistibly loaded with the galvanized sauce of infiltrated post-punk and blues rock influences including lots of guitar-based high-bow hooks and elating changes in song structures, secondly it is sung in Russian. The lyrics of the EP are about the disillusionment of ideals, considering some existential approaches either. The Slides, a quartet comes out from Komsomolsk-on-Amur, a city locating in the Far East part of Russia (residing in Moscow now). By the way, a big part of musical groups publicated on the Mimonot label, does have their roots related to the Siberian cities.
