Decade of Effort comes on WHITE vinyl LP limited to 300 with fairy-tale artwork by the band, enhanced by the magical lettering of young Spanish artist Sara Fornés.
Ten years ago, on 21 April 2014, Russian enclave of the Baltic Kaliningrad-based trio Blind Seagull started off its adventure in the soon to be known as Sovietwave aka Russian post-punk underground. Ten years later they have accomplished to release nine full-length albums on all sorts of limited edition formats such as LPs, CDs, tapes with most of them being sold out for years.
It was time to bring many of these tracks back to life, picking up the best among them and reissuing for the global post punk/darkwave niche.
Fifteen cuts previously released by labels like Detriti, Sierpien, Pine Hill through which the band led by Denis Zarubin has shaped its own brand of icy coldwave, one pretty classic and extremely fresh and contemporary at once.
On top of these, we get one more track exclusive to this release which is a eurodance-oriented remix for their minor hit “Animals die in the Scaffolding”. Think of a bunch of goth kids screwing around at the local carnival and you’ll get the vibe!
