Everything Else Matters

On their debut album 'Everything Else Matters', the St. Petersburg quintet crafts a sound built on shimmering, reverb-heavy guitars and ethereal, often indecipherable vocals that draw clear comparisons to genre cornerstones like Cocteau Twins and Lush. The songwriting balances these dense shoegaze textures with propulsive, frantic drumming and electronic elements, creating a dynamic that shifts between comforting walls of noise and moments of bright pop sensibility. This approach established the band as a notable force in the modern shoegaze revival, respecting its foundational influences while pushing the sound with a distinct and energetic momentum.
