Sonicflyer were formed in Barnaul, a remote town in Southern Siberia, by brother and sister duo Yulia (vocals, lead guitar) and Dima (drums). The siblings fostered a love of British guitar music from seeing the likes of Oasis and The Verve on a local pirate TV station, and in 2006 they moved to London to pursue their dream. Quickly recruiting Chris (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Rob (bass, backing vocals), the band developed Yulia's yearning pop songs of hope and escapism, coupling their Britpop influences with an intense, layered sound that recalls My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse or Mew. A deal with Xtra Mile Recordings soon followed, and Sonicflyer took to the studio to record and produce the 'Sun In My Pocket' EP: a document of their extraordinary journey so far, and the start of a new chapter in which long-held aspirations seem set to become a reality.
