ABOUT “DESIRE”
KIEV, UKRAINE’S BICHKRAFT IS BACK WITH THEIR FIRST SINGLE IN ENGLISH, "DESIRE" B/W "ROD." WHERE BICHKRAFT'S LAUDED 800 WAS COMPRISED OF SPRAWLING COLLABORATIONS WITH SAM YORK (PUBLIC PRACTICE), ELIZABETH SKADDEN (FINALLY PUNK, WALL) AND CARSON COX (MERCHANDISE, TOO FREE), HERE WE SEE BICHKRAFT STREAMLINED TO THE DUO FORMATION OF JENIA BICHOWSKI AND DIMA NOVICHENKO.
THESE CONCISE AND HOOK-DRIVEN TRACKS DO NOT SHY AWAY FROM ADDRESSING THE CHAOS AND UNCERTAINTY OF LIVING IN UKRAINE. A-SIDE "DESIRE" IS ABOUT A POLICE RAID IN A BAR WHERE YOUNG MEN WERE FORCED INTO MILITARY SERVICE AFTERWARDS. YOU CAN HEAR THE FATIGUE AND DISAPPOINTMENT IN JENIA BICHOWSKI’S VOICE AS HE SINGS, “BABY, BABY IT'S TRUE / THERE'S NO SAFE PLACE FOR YOU.” THE B-SIDE “ROD” SEES BICHOWSKI TAKING HIS VOCAL DELIVERY TO NEW PLACES OVER AN ENDLESS STREAM OF NOVICHENKO’S CONCISE AND MORPHING RIFFS. THESE TWO SONGS HINT AT AN EXCITING NEW DIRECTION FOR BICHKRAFT, AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE.
"DESIRE" WAS RECORDED AT ISTOK STUDIOS IN KYIV BY NIKITA MEKALIN.
