A new release by Serenades features a magical adventure created by two talented artists from Russia and Greece. Believe it or not, with LINJA’s beckoning modular foghorn, you will find yourself in a desert heading towards the ancient lighthouse castle, while Anatolian Weapons is helping you walk through the vast sand dunes with his electrical mantras and spells. A lighthouse in a desert? How can it be so? Will sand turn into water? The answers are unpredictable and you will find them while listening to these offbeat record.

The band was formed in the end of 2021 from two musicians who have over 10 years of experience in different bands and genres. Kirill Diakov, vocalist and songwriter, has been singing and composing in bands of dark experimental, new wave, gothic rock and jazz genres. Maxim Karaganov, multi-instrumentalist, continues his parallel work in a dream-pop band. The musicians teamed up to create a concept album about the crisis of relationships whether its interpersonal or intrapersonal. This is a poem, a story told in the first person of each of the characters who bring their experiences out to the public. The musical component is the cold sound of a drum machine, along with catchy guitar hooks, as well as arrangements unusual for the synth-pop genre. Additional musicians: Dmitry Talyan – bass on “Goodbye Ivan”, “You Near” Maria Bogaichuk (Maria Chu) – back vocals on “You Near”, Production: Alexander Medvedev - mixing engineer Anatoly (Tokee) Grinberg – mastering engineer
