Soviet Kitsch LP

Regina Spektor's "Soviet Kitsch" feels like digging through vintage letters from a lost era, encapsulating a New York scene where indie grit collides with pop sensibilities. Tracks like "Ode to Divorce" and "Carbon Monoxide (Alt Mix)" reveal her sharp, witty songwriting against a backdrop of lush piano arrangements. Produced by Gordon Raphael, this LP is a riot of playful chaos mixed with stark emotional truths, marking a fierce arrival from an artist forged in the tempest of the anti-folk movement. Born in the Soviet Union, Spektor delivers a debut that hits the pulse of a generation yearning for authenticity with every keystroke.
