Russian site Straw makes Gnoomes' MU! their Best album of Spring


The say:

"In the third minute I had to make the music louder so that this immersive effect would eat me up" Best album of spring

May 31 English label Rocket Recordings published record of the Permian group Gnoomes . I already called it the main recording of the spring, which deserves a separate discussion. Getting started. For now, I’ve given two reviews from the Western press about this album, and later we will talk with the guys about music, colleagues, how to share the stage with Wooden Shjips and the Western scene in general, Perm and life.

How do you find out about everything, if you do not tell.

Listen to me.

Gnoomes is a Russian band that plays a rollicking and perky psychedelic rock, created for live performance. And their new album MU ! , by their own admission, his task is to recreate the atmosphere of their concerts. Congratulations, they did an excellent job.


The opening track Utro is riddled with amazing electronic textures, the sound of the instruments is literally glued together, as if Kevin Shields came into their studio and decided to play them on the guitar, and at the same time screwed a couple pedalek. It is, indeed, unexpected to hear a curtsey from Gnoomes toward the early plane of the landscape....
