Чертополох



Singer/songwriter from Minsk, Belarus. Performs alone on stages of Russia, Belarus and Germany singing and playing electric and acoustic guitars using loads of effects and a loop-recorder. In 2004 the debut album Chertopoloh(weed) was released. It was very well recieved by critics and listeners. Then there were 2 acoustic records: Beloe Zoloto (white gold), 2005 and Na Provode(on the line), 2006. After listening to the acoustic versions of the songs many said that they prefer understated music… And yet a new “synthi-pop” record is coming out in September on West Records, Minsk. Here is what Rolling Stone (Russia) had to say about Cheropoloh: “Young man with an artist name Ravi lives between Minsk and Munich and even though he makes references towards Osho and hippy’s image philosophy is actually devoted to the proper gods of Tom York and Stereophonics likes. He plays not over sweet, romantic and pretty energetic crossover between synth-pop and songwriter-pop - innocent like a baby’s tear.” Read more on Last.fm.
