about
Kyiv native Poly Chain (Sasha Zakrevska) makes brightly pulsing electronic music infused with mystery. Her debut album, 2017’s Music for Candy Shops, folded bittersweet ambient melodies crackling rhythms reminiscent of ’90s IDM; on 2019’s transporting +/-, a pair of 15-minute synth excursions rippled like cosmic waves. Her most substantial release to date remains Currency, released late in 2019 on Warsaw’s Mondoj label. Twitching and flickering, the album’s five tracks teeter on the edge between ambient music and techno: Monotone synths gurgle and fizz; sparkling harmonics rain down like fireworks. Recently, she has been moving into more aggressive territory: October’s Lake Lemuria EP features four tracks of queasy analog electro, while Dogtooth, out this month, sinks its teeth into industrial-strength techno and quick-stepping acid. b. 1993, Kyiv, Ukraine User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
