Mikhail Paskalev

You know when you meet someone for the first time and you’re instantly struck? Like you’ve known each other forever? That’s how I feel about Mikhail Paskalev…but for music.

The songs are over-the-top pop tunes reminiscent of ’60s rock, clearly imported from a more sensible part of the world.

Kind of like if Elvis and The Beatles had a baby.

Jive Babe (2013).

If you’re not dancing right now, you should probably check your pulse and make sure you’re still breathing.

 I Spy (2013).

And here’s a more laid back tune, which sounds remarkably like Paul Simon.

Susie (2013).
