Moscow Olympics

MOSCOW OLYMPICS
more black metal than Darkthrone

Truth be told, this band is fucking amazing. Among all the other local indie/pop bands I've heard, they have the most polished sound among them. They have this cold yet intimate vibe to their sound and a very calculated consistency for the sound of their releases. Everything they've put out is well recorded, ambiguous/androgynous shoegaze/twee that falls no short of the best of Sarah and Creation in all honesty. One thing that gets my proverbial goat about these guys though is the fact they NEVER approve myspace friend requests, never reply to messages and never so much as give info on how to grab a hold of their releases locally. I'ma order some of this on vinyl when I have the money. It's frustrating not being able to contact them or even know if they have shows whenever I'm in manila but I guess it's part of their dark, foreboding charm; that sense of intimate obscurity that feels like you're in bed with someone and your grade-specific glasses are nowhere to be found.
