The Walking Icon - Galaxy Of Youth / Limited Edition

Only 100 copies CD-R

Thewalkingicon project was formed in early 2018 by Sasha Rempel, the singer for Kaliningrad break-beat act INSPIRA, and Dmitry Osipov, the member and founder of famous Moscow alternative and industrial 90s pioneers Crocodile T.X. and Thaivox. They made a big noise at that time with shows with The Prodigy, The Young Gods, and Clawfinger, and the NewBodyForms album, which was highly rotated by big radio stations, something very unusual for this kind of music in Russia at that time. For Osipov, thewalkingicon was a return to his favorite “bedroom production” format, which also started Thaivox in 1997. The decades of musical experience plus the vox and stage charisma finally transformed into highly lyrical material, very surprising, especially after looking at what Sasha does in INSPIRA and what Dmitry plays as a member of Moscow heavy hardcore long-livers Fallen Angels Crew. So, due to the wide musical preferences of the members of thewalkingicon, it's hard to classify properly the exact genre of the band, but this is not an issue for them at all.

The debut album of Moscow-Kaliningrad duo thewalkingicon, formed in early 2018 by the voice of INSPIRA project Sasha Rempel and Dmitry Osipov, the member and founder of Moscow 90s heavy industrial acts Thaivox and Crocodile T.X. 9 pieces of highly lyrical material somewhere between Dreampop and Synthpop, interesting collaborations with friendly musicians such as the highly creative vocalist and the mastermind of experimental acts like Won James Won and Goon Gun Tikhon Kubov, and multi-genre remixes from Sgt. Penarlaster (who is also the sound producer of the album) and WOMBA.
