woodpecker wooliams & golden cup meet love cult ~ in russia (full of nothing, 2012)

"In April 2011 Full of Nothing proudly presented an original Russian tour of 3 projects from different pockets of the world: Woodpecker Wooliams, UK femme-folk experimentalist; Golden Cup, Italian psychedelic guru and ex-Jooklo member and Love Cult, label’s very own hypnotic family duo. The company played unforgettable shows in Moscow, Saransk and Saint Petersburg, as well as continued to The Baltics. This release captures the unexpected collective improvisations from Saransk and Saint Petersburg. Wild, ecstatic weirdo soundscapes relying solely on intuition, sensation, culture shock and friendship. Sonic celebration of the new and strange, sleeper trains, Russian soul and maybe vodka." fon

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

love cult

love cult ~ nebulaes (brave mysteries 2011)

"Hailing from deep within the songlands of Karelia, Love Cult is the duo of Anya Kuts and Ivan Afanasyev. When asked to tell us a bit more about these sessions, the duo only told us things that made us feel even more alien and confused than we were when we knew nothing at all. These are truly sounds of a thoughtfully intimate and exclusive nature, like the soft concentration of singing lullabies to your first love. Using only acoustic guitar, voice, bells, kantele, lap slide, kazoo and effects, Love Cult construct two side-long epics that are fully enveloping...While fragile acoustics are fingered in pensive circular patterns, sinewy loops wrap themselves around the shimmering esophagus gently intoning it's mantras. The expansive atmosphere of these workings give extra blur to the ghostly strands of melody slowly arching over fully hollow spaces between and around each note. Welcome to the shadowy bliss of the songlands." brave mysteries
