Moscow Olympics - The Farthest City 7"

Hailed from the southeast Asia's wonder, the Philippines, home of some of the finest twee/indiepop artists that existed, Soft Pillow Kisses, Apple Orchard, Colour Contest, The Fantasy Lights, Skies Of Ember, Superminty, Dorians Of Juniper Bells, She Came To Stay and Muriel, Moscow Olympics have been making scene in the indie underground world for quite some time. This split 7" (The Morning Paper's Always Real being the other half), released by Lost Music, is the follow-up on their debut 7" Still. Although the style is completely different from the first, they have kept the good quality and image of the band as expected. Its atmospheric, its dreamy, its Chapterhouse meets Slowdive!

Moscow Olympics - Still 7"

Somebody put me to rehab! Now I'm really getting addicted with 7"s. I used to ignore them at record stores because as a beat-matcher I'd rather have the extended version 12"s. I'm posting one of my favorite bands at the moment, Moscow Olympics. I've never had this so much admiration for a filipino indie since Sonnet LVIII! Mesmerizing vocal, catchy bass hooks and New Order-ish guitar, Bernard Sumner would have wished he have written this song. So all you low-fi shoegazers out there listen to this!
