Moscow Schoolboy have a sound that will corrupt and comfort you at the same time. The musical equivalent of a tequila shot, their songs are about promoting promiscuity, eroding guilt, warming your soul, dismissing regret, heightening your senses and removing your inhibitions.
Their debut EP My Sister and the Devil is fiery disco rock at its sex-charged best. The potent vocals of Jess Cornelius are what every femme fatale should sound like, and, if you allow us some effusive comparisons, you could say the EP combines The Long Blondes energy, PJ Harvey’s depth and Le Tigre -esque sass.
My Sister and the Devil is a challenge to conservatism both morally and musically. Moscow Schoolboy prove that there is nothing wrong with a bit of theatricality in music and nothing wrong with being explicit in a city that is renowned for being understated.
Feel free to dress in black but don’t be afraid to paint the town red. My Sister and the Devil is due for national release on May 6th.
