Search - Ersatzmusika :: Songs Unrecantable

Fronted by the achingly melancholic voice of artist and singer Irina Doubrovskaja, and peopled by a half dozen Soviet emigres who escaped the turmoil of Russia following the end of the Cold War for the artistic communes of East Berlin, ErsatzMusika are the ghost in the machine of 21st century music. Their sound is unique - rootsy Russian urban folk without insulation and throwing off sparks. The thirteen strange and singular tracks on Songs Unrecantable are like a hall of mirrors reflecting the psychic landscapes of old Russia back onto the crazy realities of 21st century Mittel-Europa and turning them loose into some of the strangest songs on the planet.
