intro
Outstanding combination of dubstep and classical music from acoustic Russian experimental trio, 2muchanchos
From Cherepovets, on the northern shore of the manmade Rybinsk Lake, and a Russian town equally remote from St. Petersburg as from Moscow, comes symphonic trio 2muchachos. Talented with a well-developed sense for melody and for song structure, 2muchachos combine glitch rhythms and classic compositional structures while performing on acoustic instruments. Soundscapes which 2muchachos recorded at bustling urban areas build the layers for a tense mixture of pastoral and metropolitan touches on 'Formanta'. 'Northern Sea Ghosts' is the first highlight on the album. Elegant modern composing at first and then changing to heavenly pop music, it ends like a haunting waltz. 'Dreaming Girl' best shows the intercourse of sounds. 2muchachos had onboard geigentellers and like a 21st Century riddim section, and with great joy, their sounds tingle and tangle. 'Raindear?' begets a very special meaning as the sounds from a smouldering fire seem to get smothered by rain. 'Formanta' makes for a grand adventure and for a modest moment in music history. Vladimir, Dmitriy and Alexandra have done themselves proud.
