Pink + shiny + ultra + blast are four words evocative of a quadruple cocktail of heady frisson, the kind of kaleidoscopic complexity that flickers with gems of passion and precision. Starting off with a quiver reminiscent of Bloc Party’s Like Hearing Voices, new single Umi from Pinkshinyultrablast is in equal measures fragile and potent, waves of guitar rippling under shards of electronica and fast paced shoegaze. The St Petersburg four piece successfully make use of the lack of sound, working space into their layers of vibrations like the best alchemists. Out on November 10th on Club AC30.
