The Bleak Engineers

The Russian coldwave duo The Bleak Engineers consists of Alexander Moralez and Svetlana ‘Zombierella’ (of Messer Chups). They debuted on Six Tonnes De Chair Records three years ago with a 45 that mixed electronic sounds with live bass and guitar. An album followed on Mosaique in 2019, but one of their earliest tracks “Unconscious”, which was released along with a video, has remained unreleased until now. It’s the title of their new mini-album that came out on Rotation Mécanique (a Mosaique sub-label) a couple of weeks ago. The pressing is extremely limited, just 150 copies. It’s immaculately produced, and will be followed by a remix EP in just a few days.
