velvet and velvet dolls // shoegaze in USSR.



This band existed in 1988, in Izhevsk (Russia nowadays). Their tracks are very experimental and were recorded with the help of two old soviet tape recorders. Primitive rhythms and noise guitar with "Elektronika" effects created special atmosphere.
Velvet and Velvet Dolls appeared on some compilations in Japan and Germany. It's a sad fact but such music was perceived only by few in the soviet society.
