Everything is Made in China is another Russian band I just stumbled on and was pleasantly surprised by their sound. Their sound is a lot like some of the French electro bands I've spoken about before. If you like M83, you might enjoy Everything is Made in China. These guys create moody melodic electro-landscapes with a decent pop edge. The song "Cepheia" for example brings on a lot of range and the melody is hard not to like. The only issue I have with their new album "Amber" is that there is no one song you can hang your hat on and really recommend to an average listener. This is a solid whole album experience.
The band was cool enough to post Amber on Youtube for fans to listen to before purchasing. More small bands should take up that practice to give listeners an opportunity to check them out. It's really annoying when you haven't heard a band before and you can only get 30 second bites of their tracks on iTunes. Anyhow, "Echoes" is probably one of the albums more pop songs.
I actually really enjoyed their instrumental track "Cepheia" quite a bit. I thing it really shows the bands level of talent and range. It takes a bit to build but once it does, it's a really nice melodic jam. It reminds me of another Russian band On-The-Go.
