The band's debut album "Punk TV" received positive reviews from music critics: Excellent album from a trio of Siberians who mix driving, droning guitars with thick buzzing electronics.
It has a touch of New Order and Ratatat to it, a bit of breakbeat and a dark Flaming Lips-like beauty that seems to be found only in places not on the musical map.

Opening with the atmospheric, propulsive «Day by Day», this disc would be perfect accompaniment for a spy movie, with its trick-start beginnings («Amsterdam»), tick tock rhythms coupled with floaty drones («Zoomer Goodnight») and plenty of disco guitars for those spies' nights off.
