Ice For Aureliano Buendia, Evgeny’s first full-length album, was released in April 2013. Recording had taken 2 years. The record is named for the character in Gabriel Garcia Màrquez’s magnum opus One Hundred Years of Solitude, whose strongest memory is of his father showing him ice. “Noir” starts off the album with a sense of longing before the opening notes of “Valse” bring hope. “Serenade” is a triumphant march away from somewhere, with wistful interludes of a place not to be seen again. A mainstay of Grinko’s music since the beginning, the accordion plays a major role on this album. “Rumba” features a mesmerizing drum beat, guitars and a rock bassline – a hat-tip to Evgeny’s past projects. The title track is almost ambient. This is clearly the work of an artist searching for his sound.
