Growing up in a small Ukrainian town outside Kiev, this remarkably gifted pair were immersed in music before escaping its confines, fiercely determined to head into the outside world and make an impression. They moved to London to improve their art and the culture they found shocked them.
Coming from such a different background, one would fear that they might become enchanted by the big city life, but instead they felt disconnected to the materialistic, narcissistic lifestyles of most people their age, and grew more and more committed to each other and their music.
This 18 year olds have got a Steely drive behind the gossamer intimacy of the music. Having already mastered keyboards, flute and harmonica, they are trying to master as many other instruments as they can, including guitar and drums to go with the electronic beats.

BLOOM TWINS – ” Happy “
Posted: October 11, 2014 in MUSICTags: Bloom Twins, Dark Indie Pop, Ukraine
Sisters Anna and Sonia Kuprienko, this remarkable gifted pair , play dark pop now based in London but originally from a small town outside Kiev in the Ukraine.
In light of the recent conflict in Kiev, Bloom Twins released a poignant cover of Bob Marley’s ‘Get Up Stand Up’ (here). But today we’re tipping ‘Fahrenheit’ by the London via Ukraine downbeat pop duo, Anna and Sonia Kuprienko, which was released last summer. After that debut, Bloom Twins have gone on to sign with WME, open for Eels and gather plaudits from various areas of music press. Incredibly on trend, the track itself is a dark blend of haunting keyboards, dual vocals and subtle percussion that is both sparse and compelling.
