History
[EDIT] formed in 2003. They met in Moscow Russia at an Ivan Nikolayevich Smirnov concert. [EDIT] Check Reference

[EDIT]This project began as an affair with love and sound in Moscow back in 2003 and has blossomed across borders.[AmazingTunes] [EDIT]

[FINAL]The name Ummagma comes from a shortened form of Pink Floyd's album Ummagumma [SpaceWOK] [FINAL]

Music style and influence
[EDIT]Ummagma’s musical style is vacillating and broadly influenced “easy positive music”, ranging from intense 3-minute ‘songs’ to longer richly-layered landscapes of pulsating sound. It offers a mixture of the ethereal and ambient with sublime resonance, beats and rhythm to create richly layered landscapes.[AmazingTunes] [EDIT]

[EDIT]Despite the fact that their music encompasses several genres of music – post-rock, post-punk, dream pop, ambient/ethereal, and progressive rock – there is a common remarkable theme, elevating atmosphere and stirring effect in Ummagma’s music.[AmazingTunes] [EDIT]

[EDIT]who create a beautiful fusion of Dreampop, indie rock, ambient post-rock, Indietronic and Shoegaze, sure to please fans of early 4AD output and the early 90s Dreampop/ Shoegaze heyday.[VentsWin] [EDIT]

[EDIT] Likened to Peter Gabriel, Arcade Fire, Pink Floyd and Snow Patrol, they have found their own sound, despite this rather prestigious list of comparisons, which can only be described as a fragrant potpourri of “ethereal dreamrock powerpop fusion”. [SpaceWOK] [EDIT]

[EDIT]Comparisons have been made to such performers as Cocteau Twins, Blonde Redhead, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, AIR, Sigur Ros, Stereolab, Michael Brook, Lush, Mercury Rev, Talk Talk, Snow Patrol, Ultravox, Curve, M83, Malajube, Tricot Machine and a little Bowery Electric, but everyone will surely find something truly and exclusively UMMAGMA in this music…[AmazingTunes] [EDIT]

[FINAL]"We personally relate to, I think we are closer to Cocteau Twins and Slowdive in terms of our sound, but to Pink Floyd and David Sylvian in our approach to doing things. We are definitely hard to pigeonhole, as our music crosses at least eight musical genres" [SpaceWOK] [FINAL]

Equipment
REVISE! [EDIT] Alexx Kretov (composition, instruments, arrangement, recording, vocals) and Shauna McLarnon (vocals, composition, lyrics). [AmazingTunes] [EDIT]

Discography
[EDIT]Last July, they simultaneously released two debut albums, somewhat like fraternal twins presenting their varied personalities. Their self-titled debut is rich with immersive ethereal soundscapes combining the early ambient experimentations of Eno & Fripp with the hazy melodicism of Cocteau Twins and The Sundays. ‘Antigravity’ adds further Shoegaze elements, perhaps more in keeping with the likes of Mazzy Star, Slowdive and Stereolab. Ummagma are making waves across the globe with their deep textured soundscapes, mesmerising vocals and beats, making for a rewarding listen. [EDIT]

[EDIT]In mid-July, Ummagma released two CD albums (“Ummagma” and “Antigravity”) and has issued four videos, which are all on YouTube. [AmazingTunes] [EDIT]

[EDIT]Each album represents a different period in Ummagma’s musical development, beginning with “Ummagma” and followed by “Antigravity”.[AmazingTunes] [EDIT]

Antigravity "dedicated to time, space and everything that makes your reality much lighter"

On May 23, Ummagma released Back To You and River Town on a split EP with Finnish post-rock fusion band Virta on Italy’s Som Non-Label. [EDIT]
