The Best Pessimist - The Half​-​World (2015) EN

The best pessimist comes from Odessa, Ukraine and looks as if he started doing his music when he got bored with symphonic metal riffs. Or viking reconstruction. Or modelling. His name is Sergey Lunev, his band consists of three other musicians, and they all combine piano with clearly electronic ambient with post-rock elements. And every one of the elements is extremely noticeable.

Lunev's inspirations include The American Dollar, French Teen Idol and Mono, although the last one maybe just for their mysticism in music. And this music tells the stories about broken hearts and goodbyes - you can feel it in every note, every beat and every sudden silence. Now you should put a long black coat on and go out with TBP's music in your ears into the autumn darkness. And try not to think too much.

I hope I will meet his music in my dreams tonight.

"The Half-World" is available for 7 GBP, good price.
