Comment: there are represented three pieces altogether By Russian combo |sistra| which used to reveal the ensemble`s exquisite manner to produce sounds – sparse yet poignant instrumentation is bound to high-pitched singing which emotionally provide a pre-eminent dagger ultimately. Indeed, the singing is a very amusing element within it providing different threads due to exploiting female-male mixed dreamy voices with a slightly elliptic trajectory which used to chime and chirp in an unconventional manner. Because of this it sounds in a familiar and unknown way this creates a welcome tension in the listener. Because of this one could enjoy indie music which does not follow an average indie pop formula. There are the guitars to be represented but they seem somehow to be treated or pulled out of the blend sometimes. It is very ok for this case. One could even say it is an example of dream pop produced and rehearsed in vacuum. By the way, one of those songs Tiny Boat is performed live. In a word, it is a solid indie glimpse under BFW Recordings.
