Haárps

My new EP under name BOGUE is now live at Hyperboloid Records

BOGUE is a side project of Haarps, and their new release titled ‘Qualia’ is a short but focused six-track EP. Surgical and mechanical, this body of work takes the listener through a hospital of the future. Rife with mangled singing, distorted buzzsaw synths, and shattered glass percussions, ‘Qualia’ is intensely texture-focused and highly recommended towards those who enjoy gritty club anthems.

BOGUE is a new alter-ego of Ilya Arkhipov, previously known as the guy behind Vagina Vangi & Haárps. A debut single “Gelsemium Elegans” takes off the experience of his earlier witchhouse works merging the true Russian darkness with otherworldly drones, amorphous vocal cuts & synth chops. Ilya describes BOGUE as a spin-off to Vagina Vangi as if it never broke up & kept on adsorbing the zeitgeist. Along with witchhouse signature sounds there’s also a huge influence of bass music, cyber grime & dungeon synth. “BOGUE” is a cheeky interpretation of Russian word “bog” (god) that looks a lot like VOGUE Magazine. At the same time the spirit of these vibes neither satanic nor blasphemous. More likely, BOGUE is about futuristic anti-utopian vibes from barely existing universes. Still dark, edgy & experimental.
