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.

As you may know, back in 2010-2012 my project name was Vagina Vangi. I've released two EPs and then rebranded to Haárps. Now these early birds are available on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon, Google Play, Tidal, YouTube, Deezer, etc. Enjoying my stuff never been that easy. If you haven't check any of these items out then you should definitely do this. The past is dead but mesmerizing.

Vagina Vangi «Locked Forever» EP 2011 Art by Oleg Zhuravlyov iTunes | Google Play | Spotify

A softmore record where I switched to the song structure and collaborated with a great vocalist Yana Blinder. I also made my first attempts to sing & vocalize here. This inspired me to create Haárps a year later. Still  raw, dark af, melancholic & experimental.

Vagina Vangi «Benighted United» EP 2010 Art by Eduardo Caudillo iTunes | Google Play | Spotify

A debut EP from Vagina Vangi which is considered to be the one of the first milestones of Russian Witchhouse scene. Before that was cool, right. Dark raw soundscapes filled with oversaturated & almost sludgy basslines, howling synths and otherworldly samples.

Press release & disclaimer:

Winter landscape was picked for its strongest sense of oppression. Which is quite familiar to Haárps because the whole 2-piece band comes from the far Russian North. We kneel before this deadly silence it brings, charming and terrifying at the same time.

The fear of war comes into the world of Haárps. This world is mostly used to be about the inner world, subconsciousness, loneliness in perception and the narrowness of empathy.

The metaphor of slaugthermen does embody this fear. With no escape you move along with fears until they cut your head off.

We strive to illustrate the modern & the most average fear of war. War is a dirty game. It's tragic and disgusting. Paranoia and pointless aspirations to find an enemy for no distinct reason always invite the war in. Characters may refer to religious fundamentalists though not completely. We're keen on the song’s abstract story & what we consider to be beautiful in the first place.

Needless to say, this is a work of fiction. Characters, places, events and incidents are either the products of our imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
