St. Petersburg resident Nikita Pavlov makes C86-indebted fuzzy indiepop under the name White Wishes . Download his EP 'GiB' below.

Shelflife Records down in Portland has been quietly and consistently releasing quality records for the past 15 years. There's no let up in sight, and the recent handful of releases sees them continuing to do it. Here's a rundown of those recent releases, all of them worth checking out. White Wishes are from St. Petersburg, Russia and have an obvious thing for records that came out on 53rd & 3rd. They write slightly noisy yet tuneful pop songs. Come Say [...]

das rührige label shelflife records aus portland bzw. san francisco steht fest in der tradition von sarah records oder factory. wir werfen leider nur gelegentlich einen blick hinüber und haben so zuletzt einiges verpasst. was nachzuholen gilt. in aller kürze mit musikalischer würze und dem versprechen, wieder etwas kontinuierlicher am ball zu bleiben. denn auch die nahe zukunft verspricht einiges auf shelflife. ist ja nicht so, dass ich mich dagegen gewehrt hätte, aber eine band aus russland ist mir bisher wohl nicht untergekommen. mit [...]

Andy posted about White Wishes back in December, a pseudonym of Russia's Nikita Pavlov. Since downloading his Today EP for free, I've been twiddling my thumbs in anticipation for the official full-length release. I went through a huge Wild Nothing kick throughout the end of 2010, and the Today contained some striking similarities, particularly the somber vocals...

Now that summer is back after its brief hiatus last weekend, we're absolutely delighted to finally announce and recommend Berlin's lushest and brightest days in the sunny season that's luckily still ahead of us for the most part: From August 26 to 28, the area around the old Wasserturm in Kreuzberg is once again inviting every twee-infused girl or boy in Berlin for the second installment of the fabulous Indie Pop Days . To live up to last year's success with performances by Still Corners or Allo Darlin', among quite a handful of other adherents of contemporary anorak glory, [...]

There's never been a ni$%@ this good for this long This hood, or this pop, this hot or this strong With so many different flows, this ones for this song The next one I'll switch up - This one will get bit up These fucks to lazy to make up shit They crazy, they don't paint pictures They just trace me." - Jay-Z That verse [...]

Well I am down in Lahndan at the moment, hence the picture of jellied eels. I am the sort of undignified trougher who will eat more or less anything but not, it seems, jellied fucking eels. Dreadful things. When I was living down in London between 2002 and 2005 I actually lived on a boat (£12,ooo instead of, say, £300,000 for a shitey one bedroom flat thirty miles out of the city centre). I was moored down at Nine Elms Pier , but went up to Brentford to get the thing gutted and the [...]

Genre: One Man Post-Punk/Wave Band, Indie Pop Label: shelflife records Good, minimal post-punkish music from young russian Nikita Pavlov. Motorama, My Teenage Stride, Smiths stripped down to a one man band. Sometimes with some programmed drummer sometimes just plain guitar and reverb drenched voice. It's quite nice. Full length is planned for spring 2010 on Shelflife Records. In the meantime grab ... -- [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website ]

Berlin based band White Wishes have created some smooth songs; tunes that feel good and flow effortlessly. Their 4-track E.P. Today ( via Shelflife records ) is a delicious listen from beginning to end, full of irresistible hooks, hazy vocals, and clean instrumentals. Pulsing and progressive, these guys have balanced that tricky line between loose and focused. Though the band started out as collaboration between Nikita Pavlov and Andrew Knox, it is currently the solo act for Nikita. In his words the [...]

I've had a hard time choosing a song to put up that's most representative of this digital EP from Nikita Pavlov entitled Today - mostly because the entire four-song affair is so good (and I haven't been able to stop listening to it). Pavlov's material is being released under the moniker White Wishes, which is...

Con una copertina e un nome così, potrebbe sembrare una di quelle uscite di Natale che affollano i blog in questi giorni ma non lo è, anche se comunque si tratta di un free download molto consigliato. Lui si chiama White Whishes , progetto solista di Nikita Pavlov, da San Pietroburgo ma residente a Berlino. Suoni shoegaze molto rarefatti, chitarre sognanti e una bella voce sperduta tra riflessi sulla neve e vapori. L'ep Today si scarica su Bandcamp ma porta comunque il marchio di qualità Shelflife . Ci ha collaborato anche Maxim Polivanov chitarrista dei Motorama, [...]

Berlin's White Wishes is back to follow up his debut two-song single Hold Your Hand from August with a fuller four-track release, Today, which is due out tomorrow on Portland/San Fransisco-based label Shelflife Records ( The Radio Dept. , Thieves Like Us, Le Coupe ). Sounding like a cross between Minks and Real Estate , White Wishes continues to deliver relaxed tunes coursing dreamy guitar riffs and oozing soothing vocals. Check out the single off the release, 'Not Today.' Hit up White Wishes' bandcamp [...]

Cotes du Rhone is our default red wine of choice in this house, and after yesterday's birthday celebrations being cut rather short due to my feeling shitty, we are having a quiet evening in with a couple of bottles of red wine, a bacony, beany stew and we are going to light the fire for the first time this Winter as well. There is nothing remotely related to that on this podcast of course, but then these titles have become increasingly unrelated to the actual podcasts themselves recently so I doubt that'll surprise anyone. In fact, [...]
