Time Is Up

Tucked away in Russia's extreme northwest, Murmansk has a lengthy history of serving as a way-station for the Western World.

It is a world away from the sunny beaches of California...and yet, the music emerging from one of Murmansk's most surprising success stories, Time Is Up, embraces a cosmopolitan consciousness while paying homage to its other-worldly origins.
