HAARPS 2nd EP is a re-packaging of four previously unreleased tracks and a brand new track "My Doom". "Towards The Sinister" EP is equally as slick and produced as Mosses & Lichens but with a more rap leaning sound, heavier, darker and harder edged, less crooning pop and more nasty doom-pop dubstep.

Starting as a Moscow based Witch House band back in 2010 and quickly evolved beyond the genre Vagina Vangi have now taken a further step with two new more commercial and more epic sounding EPs and a new name of H▼▲▼RPS (or Haarps)
The first EP called "Mosses & Lichens" is a sprawling epic with 80s style crooning vocals, giant synths. It's a concious attempt to unite With House style drones and fuzz with stadium pop aesthetics. Its ambitious as a mother-fucker and is such a sudden divergence that its hard to tell if its genius or a near miss. It's almost cheesy at points but then it goes the other way so well all within the one song that you cant tell what's what.

Vagina Vangi were Russian a band that appeared around the same time as Witch House arose, they made some amazing tunes then disappeared off the radar a bit. Well if you want here are their two EPs from 2010 and 2011 - now up on Bandcamp. A mix of Witch House, Electro, Nu Metal and chart dubstep, very very epic sounding, and really good. They should be releasing a new record soon.
