Dreamgazer Chapterhouse, Lush, Broadcast, Bowery Electric ++ I can hear it all in this release. Very cleverly crafted. Really appreciate these golden vocals & the fact the lyrics are appended. Brilliance!

Rotation 04:18
Didn’t see it coming now Or I would have run Mood set on lying low And down I go Lay it all to rest today With the setting sun Put on the stereo The lights down low On the other side of joy Seems you’ve been cornered By captivity And there’s no way of breaking free Your head is full of noise That can’t be drowned out By your radio On the other side of joy

Well he may be gone But you’re not left for foregone Don’t you go now knock yourself out ‘Cuz I say live and let die Say live and let die The night is so long It seems to just wind right on Don’t you go now wasting your breath Just let those sleeping dogs lie Yeah, let sleeping dogs lie And now you see and now you don’t Nothing is black and white Read your every line And between the lines It’s easy come and easy go That’s what you get with Instant recipes They always claim to please Wohoo Wohoo

Ummagma is a Canadian-Ukrainian indie duo, whose dream pop shoegaze front began in Moscow, where they recently made enough noise to land a full-page spread in Rolling Stone Russia. The duo has won Alternative Eurovision competitions for 2 years (Amazing Radio in 2013; Pure FM in 2014), as well as 2 awards at the 2013 Australian Independent Music Video Awards (incl. best pop international video). But that’s not the only feather in their cap, having also caught the attention of Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and Malcolm Holmes (OMD), both of whom remixed tracks for release in autumn 2014.

Ummagma combines their love of indie rock, synthpop and electronica to create their own unique brand of “dreamgaze” power pop, with emphasis on mesmerizing ethereal vocals and lush reverb-laced soundscapes. Loaded with positivity, Ummagma offers a soundtrack of reverie for both trailblazers and stargazers.

This single follows Ummagma's 2 debut LPs 'Antigravity' and 'Ummagma' (2012). Also check the latest 'Lama' extended EP (May 16, 2014) ummagma.bandcamp.com/album/lama-2 [both released on Emerald & Doreen Recordings]. Mastered by producer Marc Joy (Mike Peters, Golden Fable, Primal Scream, Bernard Butler, Lights That Change).

LOOK FORWARD to Ummagma's collaborative LP with Moscow-based Sounds of Sputnik soundsofsputnik.bandcamp.com/album/new-born on Ear to Ear Records (release date: August 25, 2014).
