Minimal rock band Peel Off The Bass is from Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine.
Most of all, this is the most interesting guitar indie-band of Ukraine for now. The first and the only full-length album was released by Quasi Pop in 2002. It was the very first Ukrainian album in post-rock style (as it is acknowledged in Europe…). Also there's a stable opinion that the debut album of Peel Off The Bass is still the best Ukrainian minimal-rock album ever made.
The music of Peel Off The Bass is intelligent and laconic. It was created with
Only the rough and powerfull sound of drums (both acoustic and drum-machine programmed), guitar and bass. Only the simpleness of minimalistic guitar riffs, and the beautiful balance between "cold" almost-songs textures and hot energy of group's improvisations.
In the best modern tradition the music of Peel Off The Bass creates an impression of half improvised & half composed. The music flows easily and unconstrain, besides the music flow stays sensible, it has some vector, reason for movement. There's even on song with English vocal — pop song in fact.
Denis Kreicherek and Daniil Prohorov participated the the album recording.
