Kyiv, Ukraine might not be the first place you think of when it comes to surf rock, but that’s where Amphibian Man aka Ivan Semeshchenko does just that. His latest album Ether consists of nine atmospheric instrumentals full of metal influences and reverb, excelling in layered guitar parts that bring original melodies to the table. It sounds like it’s emerging from the twilight zone, a bit heavy-handed, but definitely an absorbing listen.

Ether is out now digitally (self-released).
