One gorgeous hour of cascading, delayed powerchords and dreamy melodies make up this album from Russian ambient rock ensemble Bosch's With You. Yeah, the

name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but we're used to that sort of disconnect when dealing with underground bands from Russia.

Defamiliarisation was released on the very cool Russian label R.A.I.G., whose releases from Womba, U.S. Christmas, I Am Above On The Left, and Seven

That Spells have all found a lot of love in my disc changer, and Bosch's With You fits in nicely with the kinda-weird avant/prog rock leanings of the label

roster; the band sends up billowing clouds of guitar drone and cosmic metallic ambience that curl around a series of beautiful moody interlocking guitar

melodies, and interjects noisier, distorted riffing and really spacey, hypnotic drone improvisations. They aren't doing anything wildly original, but their

epic instrumental rock certainly hits the right spots, sounding like a combination of the mellower parts of Isis songs, Explosions In The Sky, and My Bloody

Valentine's wall of sugary guitar roar, stretched out into floating, 10-20 minute dream sagas. Although Bosch's With You does mix things up on "HCTD Do The

D.T.W. Another Way", a ten minute jam that assembles a breathking krautrock epic out of distorted 70's action-funk guitars, waves of shimmering swirling

drones and propulsive drumming - very cool. Fans of UK ambient tone sculptors Rothko might also dig Defamiliarisation's swirly, lunar beauty.
