До свиданья, дорогая!

A band from Saint Petersburg that makes a kind of post-punk/indie-pop. Not for long yet, so not much material yet. However, they already have a few very successful tracks with original music videos. До свиданья, дорогая is the Russian title for the film The Goodbye Girl (1977), but it has nothing to do with it.


Я СМЕЛЕЙ (2019)

I am braver – from their first and only album Себя потерял (2019).

   A world of colorful paints
   But I am just a shadow
   Don’t look for me
   I’m braver
   Don’t look for me
   I’m braver
   Don’t look for me
   I’m braver

   The crescent moon
   Will fall on you from the sky
   Shattering hearts
   Into a thousand pieces
   It will stop
   And make you understand
   You will never love again
   You will never love again
   You will never love again

   A world of colorful paints
   But I am just a shadow
   Don’t look for me
   I’m braver
   Don’t look for me
   I’m braver
   Don’t look for me
   I’m braver

The 25-Year Career of Zemfira

Music
Anyone who wants to present Russian music cannot ignore Zemfira. Popular and mainstream – millions of records sold – but also distinctly idiosyncratic. The music is usually accessible (we categorize it under Pop), but the attitude is rock.

Punk against Putin: Criminal State – Путин

Music
Raw Anti-Putin punk from Nizhny Novgorod / Нижний Новгород. Loosely based on ‘Maggie’ by The Exploited.

The Retuses 3x

Music
From the green city of Zelenograd / Зеленоград. Dreamy indie-folk with a melancholic undertone. Created by Mikhail Rodionov (1992).

Wolves in the Shooting Range (Волки в тире)

The alarm blares (Ревёт тревога), the road awaits (ждёт дорога). They are many (Их немало), we are few (нас немного). We are in an unjust world (Мы в несправедливом мире) tin wolves in the shooting range (Жестяные волки в тире).

Offret 3x

The word offret is Swedish and means ‘sacrifice’; the band Offret is Russian and makes heavy music. The link between the word and the band: a 1986 film in Swedish by the Russian Andrei Tarkovsky.
