Sounds of Sputnik Collecting Pre-Orders for New Born.

 
New Born, the debut full-length from Moscow-based Sounds of Sputnik, is scheduled for release on August 25th, 2014. The project is presently collecting pre-orders for various digital and CD packages and bundles by way of Bandcamp.

Sounds of Sputnik, a solo endeavor by Roma Kalitkin, takes on expanded personnel for New Born. Shauna Mclarnon of the Ukraine-based duo Ummagma contributes vocals and lyrics, while Alexander Kretov, her husband and partner in Ummagma, has mixed the record and performs vocals on four tracks. Oleg Mezherovsky plays drums and original Swervedriver drummer Graham Bonnar appears as well.

“Overdrive” and “New Born”, the two excellent tracks from the album so far posted on Bandcamp, are both collaborations with Ummagma and will definitely leave listeners looking forward to the release.
