Biography

Mooncake – one of the leading instrumental acts in Russia - created their own style combining different genres: art- and space-rock, neoclassics. Catchy melodies, atmosphere, the ideal balance between rapture and grief: all this has always been Mooncake's distinctive feature. The debut album ‘Lagrange Points’ (2008) earned the band significant popularity in their homeland Russia and also far away from its boundaries: US, China, Europe and Latin America. In 2015 Mooncake launched a unique fulldome multimedia show for planetariums “The Space Odyssey” dedicaded to cosmic discoveries and the Universe. Since then it is an each-time sold-out at the Moscow Planetarium. The new EP ‘Offshore Frontier’ is a part of the multimedia project of Ian Urbina [the author of the New York Times best-selling book, The Outlaw Ocean, which chronicles lawlessness at sea around the world]. The inspiration from the book together with ambient sounds, that Urbina recorded during his journeys, helped Mooncake compose 2 new songs for the project. Nowadays the band is working on the new full length album.
