I think it's fair to say that Parks, Squares and Alleys are officially this blog's favourite Russian artist. Bold statement I know, but considering the small (virtually non-existent in England anyway) Russian music scene, the youthful, friendly promise of Sergei Khavro's solo project really makes this song and artist stand out from the crowd. After the release of his debut single 'Youth' (covered by Ivo a couple of months back), the 19 year-old is back with his second effort, an equally dreamy affair that's light synths and bounding guitar lines are sweet and cheery to the ear.

Although the lyrics don't always support this up-beat mentality, the songs cheeky whistling and organic, natural appeal makes 'Forest' quite an insatiable prospect. If you like it, download the track for FREE from the soundcloud player below!
