Kosaya Gora, (Oblique Mountain) is a brand new indie project from acclaimed electronic producer / singer Kedr Livanskiy and experimental producer / visual artist, Flaty. Though the two are no strangers to artistic collaboration, (Flaty co-produced Livanskiy’s lauded album Your Need and features on her most recent album Liminal Soul), Kosaya Gora is an entirely new sonic direction for both artists.
Their debut single ‘Te Slova’ (‘Those Words’) is a hypnotic foray into guitar-based indie/alternative, with echoes of ‘90s grunge and haunting dream pop. Though these influences may be new to fans of both artists’ solo work, they’re deeply familiar to Livanskiy and Flaty themselves, echoes of their youths spent traversing Russia’s underground music scenes.
