Electronica from Kedr Livanskiy

kedrI’m always looking to take a different turn in my musical listening, and this track from Russia’s Kedr Livansky provides the perfect chance to absorb something entirely different than my normal fare. I think what really grabs me here is the production of the song; the beat of the song is really low in the mix, and the synthesized percussion isn’t overly pronounced. Through it all Livansky brings her vocals through, seemingly floating atop it all. Sure, I have no idea what she’s saying, but that’s beside the point, as the music attracts your ears regardless of what language is being used. Her debut EP, January Sun, comes out via 2MR on Februrary 19th.

Indie Pop Goodness from Hospital

3845608337-1Two things of importance in this post.  First, I feel like I haven’t gotten down on some good old fashioned indie pop in 2013.  Second, I don’t post enough Russian music.  So, I aim to fix that by introducing you to Hospital, who’ve just put out their When the Trees Were Higher (which you can grab for free).  The opening track is really special, using a pristine angular guitar sound combined with underlying electronic creativity.  You’ll find a pleasurable warmth sweeping for you as the song fades to an end.  We might never see them over here in the states, but at least we can enjoy their tunes!
