New Band: Ubyk
Is a sea of middling indie schmaltz, it's refreshing for my ears to wrap around the sound of something dropping off the radar into places unknown. Cali freaks Ubyk are just the tonic you need to ease you through your comedown.
Ubyk is the bastard offspring of Russian born brainz Roman Bleum and a little help from Samantha Tobey. Obsessing about a world slowly sinking into Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Ubyk cast weary and fugged eye on the daily grind... perfectly encapsulated in the marvelously creepy 'Work'. It's like the sounds of Syd if he'd been spending too long with his Kinks LPs. It's that weariness, mixed with simple arrangements that leave you wallowing in simple guitar mixed with “secret weapons”... although, I wouldn't crow about secret weapons if I was a Russian in America these days...
Ubyk have an brand new EP coming out soon... more on that when we hear it... but in the mean time, dig the sounds of 1969... they're selling hippie wigs in Woolworths man... Click here to listen to Ubyk
NIce! Creepy and mellow tune! ....I hate work too!
