Ummagma
Description: Ummagma is a Canadian-Ukrainian duo comprised of Alexx Kretov and Shauna McLarnon. Ummagma’s musical style is vacillating and broadly influenced “easy positive music” with intense richly-layered landscapes of pulsating sound, a mixture of the ethereal with sublime resonance, beats and rhythm that effectively creates richly layered landscapes. While this music encompasses several genres of music (dream pop, progressive rock, post-rock, ambient/ethereal, shoegaze and post-punk), there is a common remarkable theme, elevating atmosphere and stirring effect in Ummagma’s music.
For Alexx, making music began in childhood and recording began with a double-deck recorder in post-Soviet Ukraine. Shauna’s songwriting began with acapella tunes. Sasha is originally from Kremenets (western Ukraine) and Shauna is from Whitehorse, Yukon (Canada). This joint project began as a huge affair with love and sound in Moscow 2003.
Comparisons have been made to such performers as the Cocteau Twins, Blonde Redhead, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, AIR, Sigur Ros, Stereolab, Michael Brook, Lush, Mercury Rev, Talk Talk, Snow Patrol, Ultravox, and Bowery Electric, but everyone will surely find something truly and exclusively UMMAGMA in this music…
In mid-July, Ummagma released two CD albums (“Ummagma” and “Antigravity”) and has issued several videos on YouTube.
Both Ummagma albums can be downloaded for free with use of links below. These free downloads are agreed with band members, but also be sure to visit their Bandcamp page if you feel like showing a bit of support to the band!
