Kholodniy Zvonok - Ogni (CD)

Coldwave / Synth-Pop / Post-Punk; Original title: "Холодный Звонок - Огни".

What’s this!? So called Russian / Soviet Wave? This album actually includes a wide range of underground music - from gloomy guitar Post-Punk to pure electronic Cold Wave and Synth-Pop. Indeed, recently in Russia and the countries of the ex-USSR, a large number of projects have appeared, that perform dark and melancholic music and some of them have already achieved great success – also across the Russian borders! And Razgrom Music (if someone does not know - we are based in Russia) for long wanted to sign a domestic music project, that would sound at the same time relevant, intelligent, melodic and atmospheric (but that would also fit into the overall “conception” of the label).

So here we go: We welcome Mikhail Shcherbakov's one-man project from Moscow: ХОЛОДНЫЙ ЗВОНОК (KHOLODNY ZVONOK which translates as COLD CALL). In the music of KHOLODNY ZVONOK the mid-tempo Cold Wave naturally coexists with pensive Synth-Pop and the sounds of drum-machines with stingy guitars. Mikhail's melancholic, and at the same time mild and warm vocals give the music of KHOLODNY ZVONOK the necessary conceptual completeness. This harmonious, but minimalistic post-gothic / electro-synth sound and the mature emotions are two of the main distinguishing qualities of the project. The sound of this band will definitely be interesting not only for fans of Soviet-Wave (and projects like MOLCHAT DOMA, PLOHO, BUERAK, GIANT WAVES, MOTORAMA, etc.), but also for fans of melodic and intelligent Synth-Pop / Cold Wave with a “bitter taste” of the 80s.

The first CD-release of KHOLODNY ZVONOK for the international music market is this compilation «Огни» ("Lights"), which includes most of the tracks from previously released digital and ultra-limited CD-R releases.

Limited edition of 300 numbered copies!
