Na Grebne Volny – Следи за огнем

Tom

Oh er. On this release Na Grebne Volny turn into a full-on surf pop band with two instrumental tracks that make the listener think of the beaches of Southern California rather than the colder climate of Pereslavl-Zalessky which is where the band are from.

This Russian band’s name in English, as google translate assures me, is At The Crest Of The Wave and I guess the artwork confirms that! What we have here are four excellent 1960’s influenced twee/indiepop tracks woven with some fine rock and roll guitar in the style of Duanne Eddy – yes it works! And the singer’s voice is beautiful none more so than on Вода (Water). I was going to compare them to say The Yearning but they are already distinct enough to not warrant that. Give them a listen.
