Hi! May I present a new, very interesting band from Russia. I've found them in the internet recently. And the first band's full album: Just listen to them! I'm totally sure - this is one of the best prog releases in this year! This band is located in Moscow, Russia. Beautiful, kind and gentle music with a strong influence of King Crimson, Yes, PF, Radiohead, etc. Female vocals mainly in English. If accepted, I'll request full bio info and line-up from the founder.

Yes, an interesting band indeed!
I always like to see what an unfamiliar band looks like (and sounds like) live, so I hope you don't mind me adding a few tubes to your thread: More videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjVjN0wxszB8zBT6P0zyQtQ. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whalephantband. The band certainly deserves a place here, but in which sub genre I'm not entirely sure. My guess would be Eclectic Prog rather than Symphonic...But hey - I know nothing!!

But, people, where are all of you? Need answers!

Also in music actively uses elements of noise, electronics and live sound. Instruments: keys, synths, violin, clarinet, saxophone, guitar, bass, drums, vocals (in some songs participates even a didgeridoo). Sometimes with Whalephant performs a string Quartet. The group was founded in 2009 by composer Nikolay Inshakov. The idea of a collective: experiments in synthesis of variety of material, academic forms and techniques at the composer level. Musicians who influenced the work Whalephant: Pink Floyd, Bjork, King Crimson, Rush, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Sigur Ros and Yes.
