KIKOK Just Released One of the Year’s Weirdest Music Videos

KIKOK

Like many land or sea-locked artists before him, Pavel Fedoseev isn’t letting his location—Perm, a Russian city in the shadows of the Ural Mountains—get in the way of making killer music. And not just with the self-proclaimed “stargaze” band Gnoomes, either; the drummer also dropped his solo debut under the name KIKOK on Magnetron Music a couple months back. No computers were harmed in the making of its manic beats; everything was cut live in the bedroom of Fedoseev’s bandmate Alex Piankov, then stretched across the space-time continuum and bleached in the sun a bit.

Here’s what Fedoseev has to say about his new video—although it kinda speaks for itself, really—along with the rest of the record and some key selections from the Gnoomes camp….
