Kazakh-British artist Galya Bisengalieva returns with her second studio album for One Little Independent, ‘Polygon’. Like Galya’s 2020 debut album, ‘Aralkum’, the composer, producer and musician returns to stories from her home country of Kazakhstan. While ‘Aralkum’ was about the shrinking of the Aral Sea, ‘Polygon’ tells the tale of one of the darkest episodes in Kazakh history. Though it created more nuclear fallout than Chernobyl, the story of the Semipalatinsk Test Site located on the steppe in Northeast Kazakhstan (known as The Polygon) is little known internationally, even though it was the Soviet Union’s primary testing zone for nuclear weapons. Available to independent retailers on Dusk coloured vinyl.

“A star violinist and a producing force to be reckoned with.” – The Guardian

“Creates teeming and imagistic environments with four strings and electronics” – Pitchfork

“A powerful force in new and primordial music” – The Quietus

“Technical versatility combined with an inquisitive temperament make Galya Bisengalieva a truly exciting violinist.” – The Wire
