Fleur - Prikosnovenie

Fleur are a largely female ensemble from the Ukraine. This is the first CD that the band have released. Combining folk, neo-classical and quiet exquisite, sophisticated dream pop. Fleur sing in Russian, use piano, guitar, flute and cello with some guitar. At times they remind the listener of a more acoustic sounding Bjork, and similar to OES, Seventh Harmonic, or perhaps the Cocteau Twins if they had used classical instruments. Well crafted, gentle and quite enchanting atmospheric songs with memorable melodies. For more information contact dmitry_vekov@yahoo.com. (review by Mike Shankland)
