6 out of 10
Taking time out from recording with the rest of Nottingham noisemakers Love Ends Disaster!, axe n' keys man Jon Dix has put together a series of largely instrumental sketches under the name Moscow Youth Cult. Ambient guitar swirl (Sandpits) floats along with sparse piano from a Miyazaki film (Antenna II), Blade Runner atmospherics (Antenna I) and a Balearic sunset anthem absolutely made for playing on a beach at acid-frying volume (Sakura Sakura).
Dix keeps all these platters spinning, somehow, and the result is ideal as a soundtrack for your trip to the White Isle or reminiscing about ones long gone. Philosophique stands out, with its great, bubbling bass, as does Fallout '86 with its child-like riff atop a spooky backing track Bjork may have accidentally thrown out. Overall, we are looking into an intriguing bag of musical pick n' mix with obvious, summery potential.
