Blankenberge got off the ground back in 2015 in Barnaul, a small city in the south of Siberia, after vocalist Yana Guselnikova, and guitarist/synth-player Daniil Levshin returned from their travels through Europe. Taking the band’s name from a city they’d loved on the North Sea coast of Belgium, the pair soon relocated their musical efforts to St. Petersburg where they hooked up with bassist Dmitriy Marakov, guitarist Daian Aiziatov and drummer Sergey Vorontsov. With a 2016 self-titled EP and contribution to the Cure covers project The Cure In Other Voices, as well as their Radiogaze LP under their belt, Blankenberg has also announced they will be releasing a live studio recording of their latest album laid down at Russia’s Melody Studio this past September. The performance was recorded to audio and video in a theatrical looking room that seems to resemble an old church, and the space is perfect for hearing Blankenberge’s soaring compositions. The band, in tandem with Elusive Sound, will be posting videos from this session, and today we have the first installment, with visuals for the album’s opening two tracks “Disappear” and “Somewhere Between.”
