Poyekhali!

about

"On his upcoming solo outing, The Aristókrasía Project, Úlfur Eldjárn has gazed from the vantage of Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space, and reimagined not only what he saw but what a utopic future, that people thought about at the time, might have been. “Poyekhali!”, the first song from the album, which we are proud to offer as an exclusive preview here, is the perfect launching point for this new project. Meaning “Let’s go” in Russian, Gagarin’s battlecry of “Poyekhali!” became a local catchphrase, a call for optimistic forward thinking, which is exactly what you’ll hear in Úlfur Eldjárn’s own compositions." - Jim Beckmann, KEXP blog
