Electric Rime: Kyiv’s Sonic Storm of Melancholy and Power

The Road Ahead: 2025 and Beyond

Far from resting on the success of their debut, Electric Rime is pushing forward. The band has announced new music coming throughout 2025, promising deeper dives into their evolving sound. Whether it’s brooding slow-burners or driving anthems, fans can expect a sonic experience that challenges genre boundaries while staying emotionally grounded.

In an era of hyper-produced hits, Electric Rime offers something more raw—something that feels lived-in, real, and deeply human. They’re not just making songs; they’re crafting moods, weaving stories, and inviting listeners to feel something again.

Kyiv has always been a city of contrasts—a place where history meets modernity, where struggle births art. Out of this vibrant cultural mix emerges Electric Rime, a four-piece indie/alternative band making waves with their emotionally charged sound and atmospheric depth.

Formed by a collective of seasoned musicians, Electric Rime consists of Alina Fedorova (vocals and keys), Roma Sapielkin (guitars), Max Prosha (bass), and Jim (drums). Together, they create a sound that is equal parts haunting and dynamic—anchored in melancholia but soaring with energy.

Why You Should Tune In

If you’re a fan of bands like Daughter, The National, or early Radiohead, Electric Rime might just be your next obsession. Their music hits that sweet spot between indie vulnerability and alternative punch—a combination that lingers long after the final chord fades.

As 2025 unfolds, keep your ears open. Electric Rime is not just another indie band—they’re Kyiv’s voice in a global conversation on love, loss,

and the echoes that remain.

The Sound: Where Emotion Meets Grit

Electric Rime’s music stands out for its balance of sonic intensity and emotional depth. Think swirling guitar layers crashing against the soft ache of Alina’s vocals. The band’s chemistry is palpable—each member adding their unique texture while keeping the focus on expressive storytelling.

Their self-titled debut EP, a 5-track journey into introspection and emotional resonance, has already earned them a growing fanbase in Ukraine and beyond. With tracks that blend shimmering indie riffs, alternative rock grit, and evocative lyrics, the EP serves as a compelling introduction to their world.
