MORE MUSIC ON VIRB
Poostosh emerged from interminable improvisations in front of mixing console of the booth of the one respectable Moscow club /theatre, where we all were working. Initally we were called "Dark Brigade", but it was a short moment. The name "Poostosh" appeared in 2002. In Russian it means - uncultivated plot or a heath. We were playing and recording in a lot of different styles without any serious mixing, in one cut, quickly creating the sound of a compositions due to our mood in that moment. Thus our genre has formed - laid-back, evocative, experimental, slightly psychedelic, always attracted by contemporary classic music and shoegaze/post-rock, cinematic dimension.
In May of 2005, I (Mikhail "MOX"Salnikov) decided to establish a new label - Untime Records to issue music of Poostosh first of all. With support of our friends, "UNTIME" album revealed itself for listeners.
Some words about "Untime":
"Poostosh's Untime is one of those albums that appears out of nowhere but quickly ends up lodging itself determinedly into one's daily listening regiment. The album's eleven folk evocations effortlessly transport one to panoramic country fields of times past...." (Textura)
Physically the splendid digipack of "UNTIME" can be purchased online in respectable CD BABY .
