Blind Seagull – Decade of Effort (White Vinyl)
Avant! Records10 Years Anniversary compilation LP.
Ten years ago, on 21 April 2014, Russian enclave of the Baltic
Kaliningrad-based trio Blind Seagull started off its adventure in the soon
to be known as Sovietwave aka Russian post-punk underground. Tean years
later they have accomplished to release nine full-length albums on all
sorts of limited edition formats such as LPs, CDs, tapes with most of them
being sold out for years.
It was time to bring many of these tracks back to life, picking up the best
among them and reissuing for the global post punk/darkwave niche.
Fifteen cuts previously released by labels like Detriti, Sierpien, Pine
Hill through which the band led by Denis Zarubin has shaped its own brand
of icy coldwave, one pretty classic and extremely fresh and contemporary at
once. On top of these we have one more track exclusive to this release
which is a eurodance-oriented remix for their minor hit Animals Die in the
Scaffolding. Think of a bunch of goth kids screwing around at the local
carnival and you’ll get the vibe!
Decade Of Effort comes on white vinyl LP limited to 300 with fairy-tale
artwork by the band enhanced by the magical lettering of young Spanish
artist Sara Fornés.
