“killer indie . . . with a dirty, sinister edge . . . can't wait to hear more.”
Dan Buhagiar – Triple J

“feast your ears . . . get ready for much bigger things from these guys.”
Cam Findlay – Drum Media Single of the Week

“a more aggressive Foals . . . loaded with nuances and great rhythms.”
Dom Alessio – Triple J

Last Battles is the anticipated debut album from Perth based indie rock band Russian Winters.

Recorded at Blackbird Studios with Dave Parkin (Jebediah, Sons of Rico, Snowman), the album’s first single ‘Pacific’, has been described as “poetically forceful . . . a possible summer anthem” (Drum Media Single of the Week) and a tune that “just keeps giving and giving. Awesome stuff.” (Dom Alessio Triple J).

With this LP, Russian Winters emerge as a dark horse of the Australian indie rock scene.
A trip through shoegaze pop and distorted rock harmonies, Last Battles explores a rich vein of melancholy with grandly soaring guitars, fluid rhythms and “one of the more powerful uses of a horn section of late.”

Last Battles was released nationally on September 23 2011 through Firestarter Distribution.
