In a Lonely Place - Reflection
The old scribe never lacks the urge to take a few steps into the Muscovite universe, the European capital of Post-Punk, the one that knows how to detach itself from its origins in order to sweep through blood-red clouds stained with grey.
Such is the case with Mikhail Omelchuck: the sole member of this stellar project, a spokesman for oblique flashes, bass strokes like sabre-rattling, dry drumming, his voice like a diamond falling on skin. Reflection is an electric splinter without peace, because the guitar that enters at a certain point splits the sky: on one side the 80s Darkwave bowing helplessly and on the other his own, wielded like a dagger that cuts and leaves, without any care to look at the effect created. Toxic, perverse, hypnotic and chaotic, the song is gothically addictive, the smile tilts to the floor and you dance like terrified but healthy ants: long live Mikhail!
