We offer a big welcome to Sender's new artist duo, Chizh & Cast. We have to admit that we know very little about them other than that they come from Russia.

Finka is the soundtrack to a murder mystery set firmly within this landscape. The core of the track is a melody that takes root in the central nervous system - in its depths, a subterranean bubbling sound with a rattlesnake hiss and the sound of a noisy flock of ravens climbing high against a red evening sky. 'Let's carry on', the dancer's words reach us as if they are burnt onto photographic plates. Her movements flow. She stumbles grotesquely and with purpose. She is both statue and whirlwind. Peznia Bez Slov, with its subtly displaced guitar, simmers like magma. However the relief does not come in the form of an explosive eruption, but rather through the inhalation of the rising fumes.
