Event information

We’re delighted to be bringing back Pinkshinyultrablast – one of the highlights of this year’s Sounds From The Other City!

Hot on the heels of their acclaimed album Everything Else Matters, Pinkshinyultrablast, release a new single Ravestar Supreme.

Hailing from a city more synonymous with the State Conservatory rather than a gang of shoegaze addicts, they’ve been compared to 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 Ride, 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.

Ravestar Supreme continues in the tradition of Pinkshinyultrablast’s gift for radiant harmony, buoyed by piercing guitars and jets of synth. Elegiac, evoking widescreen visions of scenery passing by on long trips, with a penchant for melodic gems and shimmering minor keys – Pinkshinyultrablast once again show their high form on Ravestar Supreme. Welcome to your new favourite Russian band.

Pinkshinyultrablast are Igor – bass, Lyubov – vocals, Sergey – drums, Rustam – synths and electronics and Roman – guitars.

‘A quiet riot of ethereal vocals and lustrous guitars. Pinkshinyultrablast a valid insight into young modern Russia via the early-90s Thames Valley’ – the Guardian
