  • St. Petersburg producer Vlad Kudryavtsev, AKA Monokle, will release a new album in November called Saints. Kudryavtsev has been flying under the radar for years now, with a handful of past albums on esoteric labels like Germany's 12rec and iD.EOLOGY. Taking inspiration from turn-of-the-20th-century composer Erik Satie, his songs pair dreamy ambience with fluttering beats that hint at bass music and hip-hop. Saints is his fifth full-length, and his first on Hamburg's Ki Records, the same label that released Christian Löffler's acclaimed album A Forest in June. It will be available digitally, on CD and double-LP, with three extra tracks on the vinyl version. Tracklist 01. Holt Found 02. Glow 03. Even 04. Swan 05. Slower feat. Nadya Gritskevich 06. Homesick 07. Arrows 08. Embers 09. Fever Ki Records will release Saints on October 5th, 2012.
