First track is a monster. Love the vocal melodies on it & LSD Nights.Yuri's voice is underutilized. Anastasia is positively sublime in her operatic vocals. Both a delight to hear; sublime harmonies.
I feel NS hits all the marks on this LP. They blend various genres seamlessly; distinctly Russian, and bathed in old-world folk & melody. Yet is totally modern, playful, RITUALISTIC, undoubtedly industrial... yet cosmic & deeply spiritual. PURE ART
Buy this album! It's an unmitigated masterpiece.
