Gravitsapa are the pioneers of the Ukrainian math-rock stage, performing among the most brightful experimental sounds.
The band has taken its name from the Soviet cult film Kin-Dza-Dza! – depicting a post-apocalyptic anti-Utopia. The major theme of the band’s work can be described in three words: mysticism, sci-fi and absurdness.
Loyalty to a one style is not an attitude to music for Gravitsapa. One successful experiment performed in a track is not to be repeated in the other seems to be the band’s motto. Only eternal escape from the cliche, emission of otherworldly atmosphere and attempts to create music as a tool to enter a trance.
At this stage the band is moving towards Shostakovich-rock and neo-neoshamanism.
This album collects their ‘Radio Free Taxipod’ and ‘Vulgata’ EPs.
