MIT NEKEM

This Hungarian band's debut opener is short dialogue from C-category Russian space fantasy movie (in Russian, for sure), and it wasn't a good sign for me. OK, I understood this sign - the music behind will be spacey and dramatic.

Happily, step by step things became better. Melodic post rock, often on the border with indie-pop. Melancholic, a bit nostalgic, very characteristic Eastern European music, melted with classical post-rock sound. Songs are different, musicians play well, and possibly the best album's element is atmosphere.

There will be more songs with vocals ( in Hungarian, so I didn't understand, if the cosmonaut (not astronaut for sure) returned back from his trans galactic journey). Quite pleasant vocals, again , with melancholic tones in voice.

Not bad album for rainy summer evening sitting near fireplace. Warm, with touch of sadness. Try it - free download from band's site.

My rating - 3+.
