The LP was penned during the band’s global voyage upon the Russian sailing ship Sedov. It was then recorded in Los Angeles and Moscow––not to mention a range of locations in China, Japan, and South Africa.

The nine English tracks were guided by an international team of musicians and producers, recruited by frontman Ilya Lagutenko around the world. They include Keith Ciancia, T-Bone Burnett’s prime collaborator on the Coen Brothers’ feature ’The Ladykillers’ and the HBO series ’True Detective.’ Also on board is the Vladivostok keyboard wizard DZA, found by chance in a Hong Kong café. 

The US dates begin March 2 in Chicago, kickstarting a series of concerts in eight cities. Mumiy Troll will be showcasing two albums: the English ‘Malibu Alibi’ and the Russian ‘Pirate Copies.’ The band recently completed a successful tour around sixteen European cities in Fall 2015. The two new albums were presented in England, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic, and Baltic nations. 

The US March tour will end in Texas at South by Southwest, where Mumiy Troll will unveil a showcase for the Vladivostok festival V-ROX (http://www.vrox.org)
