Alexander Korostinsky: psyche rock saz styles

"Record Kicks is pleased to announce the debut 45 by Alexander Korostinsky (of The Sextones & Whatitdo Archive Group), out on June 17th, 2022. The first extract is “Bones of God”, available on all digital platforms on June 3rd. 

Consumed by the dark arts of songcraft, recording, and producing, Korostinsky’s debut 45 offers both a deep appreciation to the fascinating world of Anatolian Psych-Rock and an intimate glimpse into his ascending journey as an ambitious artist. Having quickly picked up the Baglama saz, Korostinsky showcases his autodidactic abilities as both a bassist, guitarist, sitarist, percussionist and now an electric Baglama player on this first release.

The first single “Bones of God”, out on June 3rd, is a moody composition with its droning 12-string guitar, waves of electric sitar and dynamic drums all highlighted by his electric saz routed through a wah pedal.

“‘Bones of God’ was the first song I wrote for this project and is a nod to the lost sounds of Arif Sag and company that I admire so much,” says Korostinsky. “I had been so consumed in creating soul, funk and soundtrack music for so long that my body begged for a new creative outlet. I am a record collector before anything else and I knew that exploring the sounds of some of my favorite records would scratch that itch.”
