“Lucky 9” by Parks, Squares and Alleys

Everyone that follows this blog knows I’m a sucker for shimmery music and although there is a ton of it out there, I do tend to be selective with what I mention on this site. Sergey Khavro, who performs under the moniker Parks, Squares and Alleys, has been making some wonderful sounds from the Eastern end of the Russian Federation for some time now, and I thought many of you should hear a sample of what he/they are up to.

“Lucky 9” was released in February of this year and is dedicated to Daniel Johnston. It’s a jangly little number until the wave of delay tugs the listener to its shoegaze depths. I love the change, and long for the days before the internet when music like this lurked in the corners of record stores.

I hope Sergey Khavro and the rest of Parks, Squares and Alleys continue to gain more attention in the United States.
