There are some lovely sounds on the new single from Moscow’s яблоня (Apple Tree). Where as previous single еврокафе demonstrated that it was a fine example of coldwave inspired post-punk перекресток on the other hand is pure synth pop. Part New Order, part Saint Etienne and lots of parts whistling it’s the band’s poppiest moment to date. However when translated, the lyrics suggests it is about a one night stand with the protagonist suffering from regret or pausing for reflection. Either way I don’t think I am going to stop whistling for sometime yet.
