(FYI - "Polar Bear" is probably NSFW. Unless you don't mind getting caught watching a video featuring large fur-suit bears getting some action from six foot pickles...)

Mumiy Troll toured North America earlier this year to sold-out venues packed with throngs of enthusastic fans. Their first US release Comrade Ambassador was hailed by critics across the country. The Cleveland Scene praised Mumiy Troll's sound as "guitar-heavy songs with a touch of electronica that sounds something like '90s U2 with a vodka-induced edge"; Seattle's The Stranger asserted "They excel at a kind of dramatic, melancholy arena rock that could endear them to fans of the TV on the Radio and DeVotchKa". Even in wild and wooly Southern California, LA Weekly called it "[A]ll very weirdly exotic.”
