Spidermilk

"They will cradle you in their arms and spin webs of thought that lift the swaddled listener out of the fray to be soothed awhile in the thoughts of another. They will remind you that the walls in your head don't belong to you, and excite your spirit in awkward moments of unabashed honesty, that warn you that you must walk into the woods to come out the other side. However, winter's almost gone, and there is room for things to germinate.

Common Deflection Problems

Few years in London have turned three Italian sun-struck guys into a neurotic trio, whose sound fully reflects what their lives are: sweet and sour taste, smokey jazz standards' ravings, down-tempo touches, urgent riffs, unexpected changes of mood. Pop aesthetics overthrown by angular phrases brought to obsession, and a good portion of irony meant to describe how existence can amuse and knacker out in such a small frame of time.

Red Rum

St Petersburg-based band Red Rum creates an inventive kind of music that would be easiest categorized as experimental rock. This vague description in Red Rum’s case includes bits of alternative rock, psychedelic breaks, the more adventurous side of indie, electronics and some quirky/surreal elements that seem to come from no outside influence. Formed in 2004, the band consists of 3 members: Ndk (vocals/guitar/electronics), Eugene Byrd (bass) and Gorsky (drums). Their studio recordings including 4 EPs and one album feature Red Rum’s 2004-2010 live lineup.
