Белые Флаги Зажигайте Медленно

Даже если пролетариат возьмет власть в свои руки, весна все равно достанется нам, а цели войны останутся целями войны

For those of you who don't read Russian, the translated name of the band is 'Set the white flags on fire slowly', and the name of their album is called 'Even If The Proletariat Takes The Power Into Its Own Hands, The Spring Will Be Left For Us, And The Aims Of War Will Remain The Aims Of War'.

Bury The Sound

Autumn Magnets

Melbourne based 'Bury The Sound's music has been described as "elegant, cinematic songs steadfastly refuse to follow the well-trodden path of hosts of instrumental bands, weaving a rich musical tapestry that draws as much upon ’70s legends Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd as it does from contemporary masters such as Do Make Say Think and Tortoise."
