“Don’t Say Cheese” is a bold cocktail of surf-rock, horror-pop, and retro-futurism unleashed by Messer Chups in 2020, now glowing on a vibrant 180-gram orange vinyl LP by Maschina Records (Estonia). This album feels like the soundtrack to a ‘60s horror flick shot on a neon-lit beach. Tracks like Hard Times for Dracula and The Mummy pulse with twangy guitar riffs, hypnotic basslines, and eerie synths, crafting a vibe where vampires dance the twist. Maschina Records’ remastering delivers vivid, immersive sound, and the limited-edition orange vinyl is your ticket to a monster party. “Don’t Say Cheese” is music that makes you grin and shiver at once!
Messer Chups, the St. Petersburg duo of Oleg Gitarkin and Svetlana Zombiegirl, create an explosive mix of surf-rock, rockabilly, and B-movie soundtracks. Founded in 1998, they draw inspiration from Ed Wood, Tim Burton, and dusty ‘50s vinyls. Their concerts are a theater of the absurd, with growling guitars and synths whispering tales of aliens and zombies. Messer Chups have conquered underground scenes from Russia to the USA, blending nostalgia with irony. This isn’t just music—it’s a world where retro comes alive in acid hues. Maschina Records revives their wild energy on vinyl, inviting everyone to dive into this surreal carnival.
