Comment
: I am very glad that this avant-electronica project from Moscow, Russia has dominated as the most popular group at Recent Music Heroes approximately for a year. ~▲†▲~`s sophomore issue continues in the similar vein searching for lofty crossroads between haunting electronica, mesmerizing ambient, dark wave. It might be that shoegaze influences are a little bit reduced if to compare it with the first, self-titled album (except the avant-gaze anthem Stickweed Houses, which was also represented on the previous issue). On the other side, Vague I used to take on an organic electronica/musique concrète-soaked "light" approach. At times the release chimes like a demented sort of M83 (doing much better in this way). Indeed, the project is continually my favourite witch house/drag/trianglecore ensemble.
