In the new album "Lo-Middle Lack", Krasnodar trio Modul essentially go out of their brand sound, the sound which listeners and fans have already learned to love on the other albums, published by record labels U-Cover and Doodley Records.
If the main music style of Modul is their classical melodious IDM, sustained in an aesthetics of the "second wave ยป - like label releases of Merck, Neo Ouija or Belgian U-Cover, in this case, it is not so.
It is very successful attempt of Modul to get out of the usual representation of their project's sound - a mix of electronic music with some taste of retro, instrumental music, Lo-Fi, ambient, and records from a mobile phone - all with the incredibly high quality of performance.
Modul is already the brand, whose releases automatically fall into category " must have ", especially for the Russian listeners of such music.
MORE ABOUT MODUL
Modul is an electronic music project from Krasnodar, Russia. It consists of three persons: Evgeny Shchukin, Evgeny Fomin and Alexander Tochilkin.
Since 2003 the collective is engaged in creation of electronic music in different directions: from "home electronics" to various dance compositions and also live shows.
The symbiosis of tuneful idm, pieces of classical electronica and modern rhythms is a distinguishing feature of Modul. Creating productions the band uses both analog and digital equipment, as well as acoustic instruments and self-designed devices.
The members consider, that contemporary musician must competently combine various facilities, use all available resources and not confine to a certain bound of one musical style.
Modul is a delicate balance between complexed and coloured, simple and insipid, a compound construction of many original parts.
