10 000 Russos – Distress Distress (2017)
10 000 Russos are a Portuguese experimental rock band from Porto, known for their hypnotic blend of psych-rock, krautrock and post-punk. The band was formed in 2012, but announced in 2024 that, after 11 years, they were taking an indefinite hiatus. Let’s hope they carry on!
Backseat Mafia review: “Portuguese trio 10 000 Russos marked their place as a force to be reckoned with when they released their self-titled debut LP on Fuzz Club Records back in May 2015. The album has sold out twice over and includes such stomping tracks as ‘Karl Burns’ and ‘Usvsus’. Followed by extensive touring, they have now become household names in the psych scene. (…)
The metronomic rhythms of Distress Distress create immersive soundscapes which cannot fail to captivate. Becoming masters of drone and manipulators of sound, they transcend the boundaries of psychedelia as we know it today, channelling ritualistic vibes which are interspersed into their dark, post-punk sound.”
