FORESTEPPE - NO TIME TO HURRY























Self Release 2013

01. Goodbye Lalaland
02. Little Bird Cherries
03. Radonitsa
04. Pink Shorts
05. Veselka
06. Homewood
07. No Time To Hurry


This is probably my favourite music from last year. Piano, guitar, tape manipulation and found sounds. Strange, esoteric and beautiful. Imagine if Boards of Canada were a folk band from Russia.

From Bandcamp :

"Straddling these two domains - a rural, removed faith and troubled modernity - we find the barely audible music of Foresteppe (Egor Klochikhin). His most recent recordings - "No Time to Hurry" depict the faraway streets of Berdsk with an air of humbling gratitude. These are introspective instrumentals from the edge of a very welcoming Siberian forest." 

Check it out, the download is free, or pay if you wish.
