Июльские дни


Another dose of devastatingly sharp synth driven cold punk from Russia. Июльские дни graced these pages with 2014's Темные мысли, but their sound seems to come even more into focus with each subsequent release. Guitars swim in a sea of synths throughout, paving the way for direct leads that, in turn, set the stage for a barking croon that teleports all of the magic on '80s East European post punk into a new sonic vessel. The second track "Орфей" ("Orpheus") is ripped out of the montage scene of an '80s brat pack flick, and literally every one of these six tracks deserves to be a hit - including their adaptation of the Soviet band Кино's "Твой номер," which was a hit in its own right. Get ready for a deep dive.
