bedroom bear | wind in willows


"Russia’s Bedroom Bear and Wind in Willows team up for a mysterious split displaying two unique, individual visions. Bedroom Bear gets things going with a folky, lo-fi slow burner, tape hiss like washes of waves on the beach. Wind in Willows follows suit with a miniature symphony of sparkling synths and skittering beats." hooker vision

mpala garoo | kon tiki gemini | golden dwarves


"Mpala Garoo is Ivan from Moscow who also plays in a duo Kon Tiki Gemini and Sunbells Fennimore. Golden Dwarves is one of the moniker of Gary Reuben Morris.

"late night escapades to the mountain to watch the sun rise. create a unique musical zone where time stands still and makes you want to float forever. Total gripper for you smooth cats and night crawlers...Kon Tiki Gemini jam some mellow atmospherics for those late night escapades to the mountain to watch the sun rise. Ivan & Sergei (mpala garoo & bedroom bear) create a unique musical zone where time stands still and makes you want to float forever. Total gripper for you smooth cats and night crawlers..."

"ivan karib is one of the main culprits using multiple monikers and corralling multiple collaborations alike. for me, his top guise is mpala garoo (though his work with kon tiki gemini is quite good too) and over the course of these 25 minutes you can hear the tropics invade russia and clatter to the floor. ghost guitars ring hollow, looping around endlessly searching for synthetic embrase. kourbakov laces a beat or two here and there but always keeps an eye on wrapping melodies around it all." digitalis

"wondrous spaced-out electronics that floats somewhere between Monopoly Child and Moondog"


"Like a cool breeze from a summer lake or a plume of purple incense smoke, Russia's Kon Tiki Gemini waft across the room like spectral shivers, leaving in their wake a chilled ripple." hooker vision

easy feelings

"Like the name suggests, Easy Feelings is intuitive & ethereal psychedelic ambient music to make love to or dream an autumnal afternoon away. It’s a collaboration of Love Cult & Bedroom Bear (Sergei Dmitriev, Anya Kuts & Ivan Afanasyev) from the Republic of Karelia, Russia. The mellow synthwaves, the dreamy voices & the trippy guitarplay of this trippy three piece channel your innermost emotional states of peace & balance." sicsic tapes

mpala garoo / sunbells fenimore / kon tiki gemini

"Mpala Garoo is Ivan from Moscow who also plays in a duo Kon Tiki Gemini and Sunbells Fenimore. Ivan plays a similar kind of summery tropical heat-haze as Ducktails." not for resale
"Music crafted for the sunny and tropical paradises of our minds. Seasonal temperament is shared via magnetic vibes; we can all exist in the same balmy and tropical headstate no matter what our physical locale may be. Pure vibrations that ebb and flow on the appeal of tidal moons." sweat lodge guru

"Ivan from Mpala Garoo also plays in Sunbells Fenimore; a project that features the same island guitar tone and pace from Mpala, but deeper oceanic;...things gets pretty turbulent in Paradising, but no less hypnotic as the chaotic crashing and fizzing carries the metaphor of the sea, blistering heat, salty spray and boiling breakers into sonic realisation, recalling the fiery return to Earth of Oneohtrix Point Never or the tranquility of Dolphins Into The Future, a lucid sky-gazing treatise on sun-soaked mystical spirituality. Go to his bandcamp for three tracks of meditational serenity." not for resale


"Pairing the side-projects of luminaries like Mpala Garoo, Magic Beach, Hobo Cubes, and Bedroom Bear, this split from Kon Tiki Gemini and Cavernes begins with a roiling hot mudbath of crackling drones and claustrophobic melodies on the a-side. The kind that cakes to your hide and doesn’t slough off until your skin does. Cavernes softens the dried glaze with a gauze of shimmering notes on the flip, then peels your face off with sheer will to expose the beautiful, porcelain bones beneath..." sweat lodge guru
