It’s light and swelling pop, the stuff of sunny open fields and cool breezes. Maybe that’s why no one can get their heads around the fact that they’re Russians playing good music. Some people might have expected something a little more intense.
The trio formed and recorded their first single “Check” in 2007. Since then they’ve quickly become one of the the most popular indie acts in Moscow. Then the second single "Traveller" was released. POMPEYA released their full-length album "Tropical" in 2011. Right now they’re about to support English synthpop duo Hurts on that group’s Russian tour, and they’re working on their debut album. We think you’ll be hearing a lot more from them fairly soon.
Band members:
Daniil Brod (vocal, guitar)
Denis Agafonov (bass guitar)
Nairi Simonyan (drums)
Sasha Lipsky (keyboards)
Lyrics:
You knocked me down To bring me one night one night Only Singing this slow To bring me one sign one sign Call me
This is all so new I haven't looked back looked back You are my excuse I hear in this track this track
Just give me one time to think it over Just give me one day till we lose it Just leave me I need to get closer And give me one time till we go
Another day 'nother day 'nother day can rise again Don't cast away Don't drive me insane And see the light in my heart and soak it up You're the only one to know Another day 'nother day 'nother day can rise again Please dance to wall to walk your walk And do my heart and take me in
You knocked me down To bring you one night one night Only Heaven kneels down I look up surprised In the sky Please don't lock your soul from the goodness Give me one call So I can muse this Don't make me high From the weakness To find that your love's been hard to hold
Another day 'nother day 'nother day can rise again Don't drift away Don't come in to play Trying to move my heart Won't hide away You will be pleased to know
And it's feeling of your waist Make a move on privacy Make understand we're more than good friends Come and sew my heart Find a child in me Let's have a good time
It's you that I wanted to More It's you that I wanted to More
