Peshekhod:

Description

‘Peshekhod’, the debut album from Dima Pantyushin and Sasha Lipsky, oscillates through an immaculate synth-pop ecosystem in which every shift feels both accurate in its absurdity and divinely danceable. The album (‘Peshekhod’ translates to ‘Pedestrian’) investigates the inner narrative of a Muscovite as he wanders through the city, recalls his work, and contemplates his existence. It’s roughly autobiographical in scope- Pantyushin was born and raised in Moscow, co-runs Cafe Enthusiast in the city center, and is a visual artist by trade-yet explores feelings universal. His lyrics conjure the nostalgia and joy of parenthood in ‘Ray of Sunshine,’ the paranoia of metropolitan life on ‘Pigeon,’ and the slippage of time on ‘Chess.’
