Bender from Mementos by Kotlovan
Named after Andrei Platonov’s novel The Foundation Pit, Kotlovan is the experimental project of multi-instrumentalist Farkhad Saidmuratov (New Age Healers, Tinfoil and Tape). Born in Central Asia (Almaty, KZ), he is based in the Seattle area (Everett, WA). Originally conceived as an art rock band, Kotlovan has since evolved into a solo venture where each release explores a new musical direction.
