Picture Credit: Pivnoy Cowboy Pivnoy Cowboy - Impossibilism Release Date: October 27, 2020 Label: Geertruida Format: CD / Cassette / Digital Length: 27:51 Genre: Post Punk / Shoegaze Origin: Moscow , Russia In late 2019 Vitalii Zimin founded his one-man band Pivnoy Cowboy. In the same month, the first EP " Полуночный боулинг " was released. Autumn 2020, the first album followed which is an eight-track collection of deep, dark and sweet sounds. Here is "Impossibilism". The music on "Impossibilism" is driven by a heavy melancholy. This mostly happens via dark Post Punk sounds and a certain impact by Shoegaze. But there is something else that adds massive melancholic vibrations to the 28 minutes on "Impossibilism". It is the influence of Soviet Rock, the gloomy and soulful heritage of bands like кино that makes this album so stunning. The images this music paints are both grey and colourful. Think of a lantern shining through a rainy or foggy dusk...
