Bleep

Matias Aguayo’s Còmeme label releases the debut of Russian-born producer Philipp Gorbachev. Recorded in Aguayo’s studio in his adoptive home Berlin, all of the songs are live-performed arrangements of unusual house-based dance. With contributions from Daniel Maloso and Battles drummer John Starnier, the label’s entourage has been busy working on Silver Album with Aguayo himself co-producing the majority of the tracks. Opener ‘The Arrest’ reveals his influence with Gorbachev's vocals engagingly aloof. His spoken-word singing style continues across the length of the album over a range of unexpected rhythms and beats, with each song relaying a different Russian fable.
