Messer Chups, our favourite Russian surf/experimental/unclassifiable rock band, delivers six new covers of past classic hits in style. Apart from ‘Electric Zombierella’, which covers Duran Duran’s ‘Electric Barbarella’ from the 90s (and it’s also the only cover track with a vocal), all the other original pieces come from the 80s and are covered instrumentally. So put on your sunglasses and get ready to be instantly teleported to the 60s Hawaii of another dimension, where Joy Division are already famous but have the same sound of The Beach Boys.

Messer Chups is an experimental band from St. Petersburg, Russia. Their music often features a foundation of surf rock drums on which they build collages of samples from odd sources, like jazz, east European animation soundtracks, and American B-pictures. It’s one of the most creative bands active and we suggest very much suggest to explore their work.
