Moscow Youth Cult

Moscow Youth Cult create a rich, grainy, electronic soundscape in which to wrap their typically British Indie-Pop songs.

The band, who hail (unsurprisingly) for the East Midlands, draw from the wealth of the Sheffield area’s electronic music history to create abrasive, yet strangely beautiful, ElectroPop that fits in perfectly with the musical heritage of that part of the country. Just signed to LoAF Recordings, MYC are celebrating with a free EP. The two original tracks on the EP are surprisingly dancefloor friendly for such dense anti-Pop. ‘Girls Of Boredom’ mixes up relentless beats and a cacophony of 8-bit sounds and noisy synths with the kind of Indie vocals reminiscent of (We Are) Performance. ‘Sakura Sakura’ is a power Electro track as chaotic as a Tokyo wall of neon, yet within the chaos lies layers of beautiful synth work.
