Gnoomes reshape their sound on Losey, a record born from upheaval, migration and creative reinvention. After leaving Russia and settling in Slovenia, Sasha Piankov and Masha Piankova channel personal and political turbulence into music full of momentum and possibility.
Moving beyond the skygazing psych textures of earlier work, the duo embrace motorik rhythms, electronic experimentation and club-driven intensity. Opener ‘Foreign Agent’ tackles the pressures of the Russian state through hypnotic grooves and psychedelic colour, while ‘Satan’s Ball’ twists EBM and acid textures into something strange and compelling.
Described by the band as “rave as therapy, pop as resistance”, Losey is a bold, shape-shifting record that turns dislocation into possibility and finds light in uncertain times.
