Our Take

Vladimir Karparov and Andreas Brunn's latest collaboration, "East Side Story," is a whimsical romp through a myriad of genres, blending Eastern European folk influences with modern electronic beats. The duo's eclectic sound is a breath of fresh air in a musical landscape dominated by cookie-cutter pop.

From the opening track, "Borscht Beats," with its infectious accordion riffs and thumping bass line, to the hauntingly beautiful "Transylvanian Tango," Karparov and Brunn showcase their versatility and technical prowess. The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, from the playful nostalgia of "Soviet Swing" to the melancholic introspection of "Moscow Nights."

But what truly sets "East Side Story" apart is the sense of humour that pervades every track. The satirical "Caviar Dreams" lampoons the excesses of the Russian oligarchs, while the tongue-in-cheek "KGB Groove" is a love letter to spy thrillers of yesteryear.

Karparov's virtuoso accordion playing is complemented perfectly by Brunn's innovative production techniques, creating a sonic landscape that is both familiar and alien. "East Side Story" is a testament to the power of collaboration and experimentation in music, and a must-listen for anyone tired of the same old tired tunes.

In conclusion, Vladimir Karparov and Andreas Brunn's "East Side Story" is a delightful musical journey that will leave you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure. A true gem in a sea of mediocrity.
