notes
Electronic pranksters RURIK have always gotten a double-take on their name, but don't think this is going to get them to change it. "...looks good with a lot of 'R's and 'K's," says singer Christofer. Post-punky influences show through as slinky guitar lines, out-of-control keys, and christofer's "love it or hate it" helium-hyped melodies created music just a little difficult to put a finger on. Over the past few years the group has slipped into a style that seems to suit them distancing themselves from common genres carelessly mixing rock, electronic, progressive, foot-stomping pogo punk.
'Re-Education' from RURIK mixed by Jay Baumgardner and Daniel Certa. Mastered by Ted Jensen from Sterling Sound, NY. Recording at Hollywood's NRG studios, RURIK have been busy tweaking into a new direction with a list of instruments that span past the common guitar bass drum set-ups, frequently employing an old Atari 2600, Gameboy, and CB radio into the live set-up. 'Re-Education' will also feature some work from up coming producer JohnO and ex-Dr. Know guitarist turned producer/mixer Tim Harkins. www.ruriknation.com.
