about

The brainchild of idiosyncratic musician and media artist Evgeny Gorbunov, Inturist provides a blend of avant rock, post-Soviet psychedelia, kosmiche, and off-kilter electronic.

“Inturist mix the juiciest licks found in Aksak Maboul, Gong, Dome and Rip, Rig + Panic with the best in 80s Russian pop” — The Quietus

The sixth album by Russian born, international artist Evgeny Gorbunov under the moniker Inturist, “Off-Season” is an extension of his last year radio art piece “Stranger” (Neznakomka). The new installment presents freeform improvisations based on “Stranger”, reduced and distilled down to an autonomous work in its own right. In “Off-Season” Grobunov creates vibrating sonic collisions in the gap between popular culture shenanigans and sub-underground strategies, among lowbrow cultural touchstones and high-concept experimentalism both in the sound of the release and its ethos.

“Off-season” is a sonic metaphor for a never-ending vacation. Much like a silent movie but contrariwise an audio one, it reveals noir, mystery, grotesqueness, absurdity, and mockery. Whether it is a comedy, a detective story, or a thriller depends on the perception of the listener. The dramaturgy of it is a search for a new home that can never be found in always-changing circumstances, where the beach is a stage, the sound of a sea is a mix of memories and new feelings, and the passers-by are an ever-changing audience.” — Evgeny Gorbunov

a 32 track compilation may seem daunting at first, but after a few tracks, something magical happens: you zone out and start listening to the tracks almost as part of the same ecosystem, and marvel at all the different shapes and colours and sounds. sleepyheadphone
