Sasha Ilyukevich & The Highly Skilled Migrants present their new single, "Kolya," on Kroogi!
Sasha Ilyukevich is one of few local Russian artists whose work is highly regarded abroad. His musical career began in London in 2007. The modest PR release of the demo-album "Woe From Wit" unexpectedly brought Sasha onto the scene, and into one of London's most famous clubs, "The Luminaire," where he met the future-members of "The Highly Skilled Migrants." Despite the fact that all songs are performed in Russian, the expressionism of Sasha Ilyukevich & The Highly Skilled Migrants is becoming more and more popular in the expanses of the Celtic Isles, where he is heralded as a "brew of Rock'N'Roll, Punk, and Folk music." Cheers!

In April, Snegiri released Petrov's new album, "Lady and Death."
The fate of each - the album, and Petrov seems amazing, more akin to a movie script.
Petrov's critics call this music "desperate, full of endless longing, fatal, hopeless," and nonetheless "haunting, charismatic, fundamentally imperfect and incomplete, making it especially beautiful."
It would be too taxing on the lexicon to add more. Just have a listen.
" I don't go around gloomy all day, complaining about how bad everything is," remarks Petrov -" It's just that this kind of music comes to me. I cannot even say that i am the author of these songs. Usually it happens - BAM! Something comes into my head, a channel turns on, the entire melody just comes through - along with an approximate content as to what the song should be about. I just toss in a little rhythm, dub, and even it out. I'm like a re-producer. It seems to me that all music, that exists in the world, was written by someone long before us - and everyone, if they wish, can connect to that channel and become a songwriter."

"Magellanic Cloud" released their second full-length album today.
It includes both new tracks (woohoo!) and singles that are already out on Kroogi.
Conveying their intent through the album's title, "Shuffle," the musicians emphasize that the songs can and should be listened to in a random order.
Take note; the Shuffle button on your respective music player is the correct way to begin listening to the album.
This is a unique way for the music creators to show us on which side of the "is a music album a single coherent unit?" debate they stand.
We are very pleased to release "Shuffle," - an album, which is from our point of view, a music work compiled in the most conceptual way possible.
The musicians await friends and fans at their album release party, May 19th, 20:00, at the Glastonberry Pub (club).
We'll see you there.

Music group "Zorge" invites you on a grand musical and virtual journey.
We will venture into the strange and diverse world of the multi-series audio-film "Mongoloid."
Over the course of an entire year, we will watch, participate, and even weave the fabric of Mongoloid's mysterious world.
Zorge explains how amazing this world is in its mysteries and adventures. Mongoloid's heroes make their way on dusty roads to the Zorge's songs. They expect immense feats, unpredictable twists of fate, dangers, and treasures. At times, nothing may happen, or everything will happen all at once. What awaits at the end of this journey?
The beginning has already been made, with characters on their path. Now is the time to join in and learn the course of this secretive story.
Find answers to metaphysical inquisitions: What rules the world? Which path- is the right path? What will be at the end of the road? Is there even an end?
Look for answers to the biggest questions along with the heroes of "Mongoloid."
Each of you can support the story by writing your name into its Big History.
Big History, big things - whether or not the heroes will find a sacred truth, or remain on an unknown ship with vague memories of unfulfilled hopes depends entirely on you.
