  • When it comes to '80s Soviet synth pop, sometimes it feels like the Iron Curtain never fell. Intrepid record diggers have made some progress, but Soviet electronic nostalgia is largely the territory of natives like Lipelis. In a welcome development, this rich, little-known history is seeping out via the work of modern artists like Kate NV and Dima Pantyushin & Sasha Lipsky, who are the latest signing to Beats In Space. The duo's forthcoming LP is called Peshekhod, translating to "pedestrian." It's a perfect name—the lush, loping synth pop tune "Ray Of Sunshine" is music for meandering, like RPG town music made on a Polivoks.
