The music of Zagoryanka

The album, on the cover of which the gorilla is depicted, cannot be passing. Take a few examples from the history of pop culture : for example, Fleetwood Mac Sugar Cro-Balllas from the Mystery to Me record, which fell into the hot hundred Billboard in 1973 , the revolutionary Soul Gila Scott Hecon and Brian Jackson from The First Minute of a Neww Day ” , the classic of Denss-Pop, the sample of the beginning of the zero “ Rooty ” from the British house cheat Basement Jaxx or-at least- “ Grrr ! ” , King Kongovsky collection of hits, released on the 50th anniversary of the Great The Rolling Stones . In this wonderful row it now rises and “ Sorry ! WE DID SOMETHING WRONG ” -a full-length debut of Simple Symmetry , a duet of the Sasha brothers and Sergey Lipsky, known from Berlin to Tokyo Heroes of an electronic dance-and-ending from Moscow. The gorilla from the cover of their album, drawn by the Athenian artist Dimitris Rokos, is not inferior to his famous predecessors. By the way, her name is Coco, and she is a real historical character, a participant in the research program of scientists of Stanford University, which was able to perceive by ear and understand about two thousand English words. Simple Symmetry was dedicated to her one of the tracks from the album.

In terms of the sound " Sorry ! WE DID SOMETHING WRONG is also embedded in the evolutionary chain stretching from The Rolling Stones to the Basement Jaxx , and looks its logical next link. Like the participants of the British duo of the producers, the Simple Symmetry left dance culture and have a solid DJ experience behind them. Their album, on which they thoughtfully worked for more than three years, is a personal view of pop music , their own statement made by philophonists who listened to thousands of records and can make their personal top from albums with gorillas on the cover. Like Basement Jaxx , and before them David Holmes, Fatboy Slim , The Chemical Brothers and other heroes of the Big-Bit era, the Lipsky brothers move the immortal solar pier, who lived on rock and plasters of the 60s and 70s , and place it in modern sound. context, understandable to the generation of smartphones and streaming services.

The fundamental difference between the Simple Symmetry and the Basement Jaxx is that the Lipan brothers do not resort to direct citation. They do not use samples from old records, but recreate this free spirit of classical rock and a Soul with their own hands. Having put aside vinyl records, the DJs took up flutes, cello, harpsichord, guitars and percussion from all over the world and learned to play the sitar. We will not forget about Field Recordings - the languid tropicale “Sim Sim Sim” began with the recording of the singing of crickets in the village of Tramoso in Brazil.

The Lipan brothers did not do without the help of friends from around the world - from Brazil and Israel, the USA and Great Britain, Germany and Russia. On this album there is an impressive barbel Peter Chinavat from the Moscow Psych Garage Commander "Veterok" and Igor Cavalier, a drummer and founder of the famous Brazilian metal group Sepultura . There are, of course, virtually - “ sorry ! WE DID SOMETHING WRONG ” was completed during the world Locksa due to Pandemia of Coronavirus, when Sasha and Sergey Lipsky were forced to put their world touring pause. Ironically, the final strokes in the album, having absorbed hundreds of sound impressions taken out by the brothers from their warriors around the world, were introduced in the country village of Zagoryanka near Moscow, where they spent their best childhood years. In the literal and figurative sense, the witty psychedelic exotic-pop Simple Symmetry is the music of Zagoryanka, a magical mysterious journey into color amazing dreams that most often visit people in childhood.
