Indians In Moscow was formed in Hull, United Kingdom, in 1981 by keyboardists Pete Riches and Stuart Walton, with lead vocalist Adele Nozedar. The group first appeared on the 1982 compilation Your Secret’s Safe With Us and gained attention on Channel 4’s The Tube during a Hull music special. Their early releases included the singles "Jack Pelter And His Sex‑Change Chicken" in 1983 and "I Wish I Had" in 1984, followed by the EP Big Wheel in 1984. The eponymous album Indians In Moscow was issued in 1984, after which the band disbanded. Nozedar later joined the Fever Tree and contributed to Bomb the Bass’s 1988 hit "Beat Dis". Riches and Walton revived Indians In Moscow in 1998, releasing the single "Wrong Love" and the album Ten Days To Live in 1994. Subsequent releases included the Something Wonderful EP and two studio albums in 2004, while the 2011 reissue of Indians In Moscow on Other Voices Records marked a post‑career recognition of the band’s early synth‑pop influence.
