Pinkshinyultrablast - Grandfeathered

Pinkshinyultrablast are a five-piece band from Saint-Petersburg in Russia. They've been compared to Lush among others. But this is no mere throwback tribute. Second album 'Grandfeathered' is a more experimental listen compared with the debut album 'Everything Else Matters', it's the sound of a band unafraid to try new things and embrace those fine lines between visceral noise and restrained subtlety. The band saying of the new sound. The new album has been recorded and mixed much faster than the previous one. The songs have more density to them and are generally more complex. Recent single 'Kiddy Pool Dreams' features on the album. Described by Stereogum as "A flashback to the glory days of '90s alt-rock, which builds into thundering instrumental interludes. In between are trickling synths and echoing vocals backed by a rhythmic danceable guitar." If that single offers a glimpse of what to expect from the rest of the record, it's only the smallest of hints - this is an album that consistently demonstrates diversity and eclectic ambition. Influences on this record certainly suggest a new direction for the band, Lyubov claiming "Hardcore, metal and afrobeat" were all instrumental in its formation.
