We've been following Nottingham based raw ElectroPop outfit Moscow Youth Cult for a while now and their new EP 'Iris' gives as a tantalising view of what to expect from their début album. The title track (first seen accompanying it's video ) is a strange, but beautiful, head-on collision between gritty Indie-Pop and chainsaw Minimal Synth, with a dancefloor beat. As catchy as it is abrasive this is garage ElectroPop at it's finest. The rest of the EP takes MYC down a more experimental, atmospheric road, having got the catchy Pop tune out of the [...]
Electronic indie rock outfit from Nottingham Moscow Youth Cult are back with another intensely pleasing song in "Iris", which has synths and drums and guitars, all of the elements you really need to make an amazing attempt at dance rock. Succeeded, they have, and we can't wait for even more from them. (mp3) Moscow Youth Cult - Iris Godspeed!
Nottingham's eclectic ElectroPop outfit Moscow Youth Cult 's track 'Iris' has got itself a beautiful animated video. Directed by Jake Hutchinson, the clip is part dream part nightmare reminiscant of old East European cartoons. Buy Moscow Youth Cult's music from: Follow @electronicrumor
#OCCUPYDENVER was raided this morning and had most items confiscated. This is the most press the group has garnered and Governor and Mayor have stirred a hornet's nest. This act of breaking up the downtown sector will not sit well with many and a strategic move will be needed to keep the movement going. Things are going to get very exciting 'round these parts in coming days. Baron Bane-Echoes (the Deer Tracks Remix) LANA DEL REY - Blue Jeans (Mover Shaker Remix) Trombone Shorty - [...]
A Nottingham soundclash for you now. We've been waiting for new material from noisy and abrasive ElectroPop outfit Moscow Youth Cult for a while and they haven't disappointed with this reMix for fellow Nottingham denizens Swimming 's forthcoming single 'Neutron Wireless Crystal'. MDC have an amazing knack for creating noisy, almost experimental, tunes but never letting them run away from them. their tracks tend to be gritty and raw and full of ideas but always kept restrained within the bounds of a good song. With 'Neutron Wireless Crystal' they have that to work [...]
Moscow Youth Cult create a rich, grainy, electronic soundscape in which to wrap their typically British Indie-Pop songs. The band, who hail (unsurprisingly) for the East Midlands, draw from the wealth of the Sheffield area's electronic music history to create abrasive, yet strangely beautiful, ElectroPop that fits in perfectly with the musical heritage of that part of the country. Just signed to LoAF Recordings, MYC are celebrating with a free EP . The two original tracks on the EP are surprisingly dancefloor friendly for such dense anti-Pop. 'Girls Of Boredom' mixes up relentless beats and a [...]
It's somehow not surprising that Nottingham duo Moscow Youth Cult are accompanied live by a video of cut-up sci-fi and horror B-movies; as their take on 8-bit electro is as dark, woozy and prone to distortion and jumpiness as a degraded VHS tape. Kind of chillwave if it was uprooted from its languid beachfront and thrown down a dark mine. The sound is a lot more intricate than it's letting on, taking a New Order electronic strain to a lighter take on Fuck Buttons' undulating waves of noisemaking. While there's an element at heart of pop [...]
Hobogestapo Time for a new load of tracks! Every day we receive tons of new things and trying to listen to everything is not that easy, but we try! Therefore, here's a personal selection of the things we've recently received. Lot's of variation so fun for everyone! Let's go downtempo first, shall we! Egotomb did a rework of Daft Punk's Tron Legacy. It's a couple of BPM's faster now than the original and it creates a nice vibe! Really love this one! Daft Punk - Tron Legacy (Egotomb [...]
Sometimes it is good to keep it short. Muchuu Boy & girl duo, brother & sister, George & Milky. Hail from Herefordshire. Debut album Adventure We Go is out digitally now and will be out physically August 2nd. Quirky, fun pop music with a twist. Totally infectious. Listen: Adventure We Go [ mp3 ] I like Somebody Tell Me more though, check it out on their MySpace . [...]
At a little under six minutes of run-time, electronic-tinged atmospheric duo Moscow Youth Cult-following in the footsteps of location-named forefathers and -mothers who aren't from their namesake-hail from Nottingham and that doesn't matter. The song, "Happiness Machines", is a much less angsty Fuck Buttons or a very, very atmospheric version of your favorite electronic rock [...]
Uh, this one's kinda amazing. Moscow Youth Cult left me baffled and thrilled today with tunes straying somewhere between New Order 's synth pop affinity, formalistic noise reminiscent of Fuck Buttons , These New Puritans ' experimental streak and not least Salem 's harsh darkness, splendidly exploring the frontiers of erstwhile electronic music without ever leaving the present tense. Inspired by "obscure 70s sci-fi films", these two guys of course do not hail from that certain Russian metropolis but from the depths of the English Midlands, and where else than in Nottingham and Leicester [...]
