IN CELEBRATION OF THEIR 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PINKSHINYULTRABLAST SHARE ‘IN THE HANGING GARDENS’ REMIX BY ICE CHOIR
ALBUM ‘MISERABLE MIRACLES’ RELEASED ON CLUB AC30 MAY 4TH
To celebrate exactly 10 years since Russia’s finest export, Pinkshinyultrablast, played their first show at the Money Honey Club in Saint Petersburg, the band have shared a new remix by Ice Choir (Kurt Feldman). ‘In The Hanging Gardens’ is given an almost nostalgic reworking by the Pains Of Being Pure Of Heart frontman with its upbeat dance tempo and 80’s synth tones, which complement the bands new direction exquisitely.
Pinkshinyultrablast have announced their third album ‘Miserable Miracles’, out May 4th digitally and on vinyl through premiere shoegaze ambassadors Club AC30 (UK) and Shelflife (USA). The band have also announced an extensive UK tour to coincide this and the 10 year anniversary of their very first show.
With vocalist Lyubov recently moving to LA, the band have been exploring new ways of composing and collaborating. Partnered with a line-up refinement, the new material sees Pinkshinyultrablast go down a more electronic path while experimenting with new sounds and genres (including inspiration from Japanese pop such as Chiemi Manabe and Yellow Magic Orchestra).
Originally hailing from a city more synonymous with the State Conservatory than a gang of shoegaze addicts, the band have nevertheless seen great critical and commercial success since their debut album ‘Everything Else Matters’ and follow-up ‘Grandfeathered’. They’ve been compared to bands such as Lush but this is no mere throwback tribute – due to their sharp, icy electronics and ability to subvert the genre, bringing something new to the table. They possess not only the spirit of late 80s/early 90s British bands like Cocteau Twins, but also machine-made sounds of the same era from Sabres Of Paradise or Global Communication, not to mention wider vibrations like Cluster, Popul Vuh, Terry Riley and Philip Glass.
