Comment: this handful of tracks is an example of a new wave of ensembles coming out from the territory of the previous Soviet Union. It is denoted with the tag Soviet wave in ambivalent way though accents may be different with regard to a certain combo. It may be more electronic, may be more kitsch/estrada pop-influenced or driven by then Soviet underground guitar bands. This case is the last opinion because of being relied upon fuzzy and slightly noisy guitar treatments on the other side obviously running in the vein of impetous new wave charm. Lyrics are in Russian and by their messages being rather pessimistic by singing about losing interest in everything or soulless robots meant in indirect sense, for example. Additionally, it is recommended listening to such precursors as Egor Letov's projects, and Yanka Djagileva.

Comment: although Charleston, US-based combo Dumb Doctors` music has been compared with the likes of Ty Segall, and Black Lips I have to admit the power of their soundscape to come forth from such legendary sources as an early The Rolling Stones, Motörhead, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. Indeed, it is an invigorating mix of spellbinding blues-induced black energy, and a rough handling on guitars and drums through the diabolical rehearsal room. Furthermore, it is an example of the one and only rock and roll music. Yeah, it is mostly free from ambiguity and very striking in its straight punch. Holy shit for all of us. The issue is a part of the discography of Moscow, Russia-based Pomogite Community. All they do is cool. Absolutely.
