08 – Cheese People
Russian madness from Samara. Cheese People is a four-piece band that mixes together funk, disco, electronica and hip-hop and has no analogues in Russia and even in the whole world. The sound is influenced by European indie and electronica bands and the vocals are bit like Russian adaptation of j-pop vocal style. This band actually reminded me of some of my favorite Japanese female fronted bands like YMCK, Plus-Tech Squeeze Box etc.

Laura
When you’ll try to figure the formula of perfect post-rock it will be difficult. It should be melancholic but not depressive, you need to have good soundscapes, a twist of ambient and a part of neo-classic also is a must be thing. The rock part that is mostly missing in modern post-rock scene will be a good bonus, actually it is very hard to make the guitar-bass-drums combo to sound gentle and still be a bit lo-fi and garage. Vocals are really not necessary, the best solution is some backing choral style stuff, I mostly prefer instrumental post rock.
A good post-rock album is like a journey. It can vary from philosophy to feelings, from frozen mountains to sunny fields, from highway to a small path in the forest… from love to hate. From deep space to deep oceans and still it must carry something tiny that only your heart can see. This is the impossible combination of perfect post-rock made possible by the Australian band Laura in their Radio Swan Is Down album.
One of THE releases in this awesome genre.

My Own Private Alaska
My Own Private Alaska is a band representing not only independent scene but also one of the most non-commercial genres – screamo. Screamo lately is sometimes mislabeled due to the popularity of the word emo and the whole pink-black movement. In fact screamo is one of the post-hardcore genres and the main ideas are harsh vocals and beautiful emotional melodies. Mostly it sounds really lo-fi cause screamo bands are distancing themselves from the mainstream stuff. This genre has strongest scenes in Europe: Italy, Chech Republic and France.
My Own Private Alaska’s debut album of the same name is experimental screamo. These French guys replaced guitars and bass with a piano. So it is basically a combination of mathematical drums, harsh screamo vocals and beautiful piano melodies. It is really awesome. It gives you a real autumn mood like beautiful depression or a sad holiday. The music is very hard to describe, long six to eight minute songs are like beautifull pictures of snowy landscapes.
