Sounds of Sputnik - New Born Remixed (2016)

Rooted in a shared love of melodic dream pop postrock and shoegaze & anything 80s Sounds of Sputnik Ummagma and Emerald & Doreen Recordings team up once again to bring the bands' influences from Lush Curve Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine Jesus & Mary Chain together with Emerald & Doreens heart for disco & synth wave to create this unlikely unfathomable but always brilliant dream house disco noise experience" for the more adventurous listener. Sounds of Sputnik recently rereleased their debut LP 'New Born' feat. Ummagma through hallmark U.S. shoegaze label Moon Sounds Records presenting a palette of ethereal guitar powerful drums lush bass and clever guitars topped off with gossamer female vocals. Sounds of Sputnik paired up with CanadianUkrainian dreampop duo Ummagma to cowrite produce and record this album. Ummagmas Shauna McLarnon and Alexander Kretov also both contribute stunning vocals. Kicking of Sounds of Sputnik feat. Ummagma New Born Remixed is highly acclaimed Red Bull Academy laureate and Tokyo producer Haioka with an intelligent and catchy wall of sound meets Japanese electronica masterpiece. This is followed by Headpockets relaxed deep house interpretation. The Irregular Disco Workers contribute a series of remixes to the release turning the two original tracks into a funkier soulful experience. After Dim Zachs journey into Nu Disco we once more return to the more guitar heavy trade mark drone pop of David Garcet. With Malcolm Holmes (OMD) highly emotional New Romantics infused version of New Born the official end of the party is spiraling into an eternal night sky crescendo of noisy guitars and Shaunas wonderful voice. Bonus tracks include original versions of New Born and Light Scheme as well as Irregular Disco Workers New Born Summer Dub. Sounds of Sputnik is fronted by Roman Kalitkin. Originally from RostovonDon he is now based in Moscow where he met Shauna McLarnon and Alexander Kretov of Ummagma in 2003. Ummagma is now based in Canada after a lengthy stay in Ukraine. Their collaborative project went into overtime when military conflicts began between the two countries as a loud symbolic act of crossborder comradeship.
