Fake Cats Project - Russіan Canon DIGI-SLEEVE

Russіan Canon is the fourth album - the first on CD - based Fake Cats Project. The title certainly doesn't mean our seventeen pieces form rather we are in search of it. We try to avoid clichés, but sometimes play with them. There are no folk songs accompanied by bayan (the Accordion) though you will hear Kiriill Makushin playing bayan. We don’t play typical Russian rock, though Alexey Borisov is a luminary of rock himself, of the bands Nochnoi Prospect and Tsentr. This is not an album of the  intelligentsia, singing their sad, simple songs around the kitchen table, though some fragments were recorded by Igor Levshin in Alexey's kitchen. Band is not confined to national culture: we use the Turkish saz and Latin percussion. Our electric guitars certainly do not originate, and Konstantin Sukhan’s trumpet is more akin to free jazz rather than any tradition. Any overlaps with industrial music or krautrock are sometimes coincidental and sometimes deliberate. Since there is a  tradition of fierce speculation on philosophy or revolution at the kitchen table, we use for our sound not cast iron rails, but a buffet filled with utensils, bottles, glasses and a trash bin. We've also added the creaks of rusty swings, screams, laughter and the songs of ordinary people in the Moscow streets.
