2 punk kids in Sweden haunted by the restless soul of Dmitry Fyodorov, the
successful Russian attack player in HC CSKA Moscow that mysteriously
disappeared after an accident on the ice now nearly 30 years ago. 2 boys
with monster making machines that transformed the spirit of the cold war
to dark distorted house music to bring havoc to dance floors across the
globe. And they did!
In 2008 Dmitry Fyodorov released 1 track every 29th of each month, one
more hard hitting than the other. The viral www did the rest and
transformed the mp3:s and the endless features on mixtapes to dance floor
mosh pits all around Europe and further to SXSW in Austin USA. As a
visitor to SwedenÆs summer festivals 2009, you would not have missed them
when performing on Emmaboda, Hultsfred, Arvika, Dans Dakar and more.
Now after a few years of metaphysical existence Dmitry Fyodorov has
transcended into the digital reality with a debut album called
ôShapelessö. An album created during and influenced by a year of great
traveling and introspection.
The name öShapelessö is a comment on the collective image of our home
planet, the earth, as a pretty safe and constant environment that we, the
inhabitants, have mapped out a long time ago. However this might not
always be the case; if you start to look closer on our planet you will
find a lot of anomalies and modern day events that sounds more like the
plot for a video game or a great sci-fi novel. This is a common
inspiration for several tracks on the album.
ôShapelessö starts out with the track öTunguskaö, referencing an event
that took place on June 30th 1908 near the isolated Podkamennaya Tunguska
River in Siberia. At about 7 am there was an explosion that knocked over
an estimated 80 million trees over a 2,150 square kilometer area, this
would have destroyed a large metropolitan area of todayÆs standards.
Eyewitnesses observed bluish light moving across the sky accompanied by a
great sound moving east to north. Most eyewitnesses just reported the
light and sound and no sighting of an explosion or a fire. It took almost
10 years for the first scientific expedition to arrive to the area and
there is still a great dispute on what caused the explosion.
After ôTunguskaö the albums moves further down in the human psyche and the
perception of our surroundings with tracks like öNext to Owl Grave Coffinö
and öThinking of Spaceö.
One of the bigger tracks on the album called öCentralia Detourö is
inspired by the ghost town Centralia located in the state of Pennsylvania,
USA. Underneath the now empty city a mine fire has been burning since the
early sixties. Nowadays the underground fire is still burning and most of
the roads are destroyed by the heat and filled with smoke.
Another track, ôEtzweiler is inspired by the German ghost town of
Etzweiler. Abandoned in 1996 it had completely disappeared by 2006,
swallowed by encroaching strip mines.
A bit further down the track list we find one of the more light minded
tracks on the album, öSimcoeö, which pays tribute to a wonderful beverage
û beer. To this track, SektorFilm has made an outrageous video about food
and things youÆre not supposed to do while consuming it.
A remix of the classic Dmitry Fyodorov track öMD5VSSHA1ö, that told the
tale of MD5, one of the most used cryptographic hash functions on the
internet and its great successor SHA 1, is also included. In comparison
with the original track it highlights how the Dmitry Fyodorov sound has
developed in to a tighter and more subtle way of creating that creeping,
dark and intruding feeling over the last year. The sound might be a little
less hostile but it will still give you shivers.
Unfortunately, there is no physical release of this album.
