Pinkshinyultrablast is a Russian electronic music group from Saint Petersburg, whose music is strongly influenced by the shoegazer sound.[1]

History

The bandmembers' names are Igor (bass), Rustam (synthesizer), Roman (guitar), and Lyubov (vocals),[2] with their band name being a reference to shoegaze band Astrobrite's 2005 album, Pinkshinyultrablast.[3] The group's first output was a 2009 EP, Happy Songs for Happy Zombies, and several years passed before their next release, the single "Umi" in 2014. Their debut full-length, Everything Else Matters, arrived in 2015[4] and was marked by a variety of textures, described by The Guardian as including "shoegazing", "fiddly math-rock", and "wistful electronica".[5] The follow-up Grandfeathered was issued in 2016.[6][7] A third LP, Miserable Miracles, arrived in 2018.
