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.

A blisteringly brilliant mix of slightly scuzzy riffs, a thumping beat and a curiously sweet lyrical lilt. In an amazing story, the album was recorded in Russia back in January, where the band met with Yeltsin’s close friends and personal translator (who gifted them seven bottles of expensive Russian vodka). Starting with a simple beat, evolving into some shoegaze fuzz, and ending in a soft and yearning voice, via riotous choruses, it’s something to behold.
Fly by Wire is released on 19th September.
