On phenomena and existences points in the same direction of the previous At work, of which inherits the
complexity and some rocklike tones. The band from Belarus offers again, in a more mature and articulated
way if possible, the love for the Russian Twentieth century big names (Stravinskij and Shostakovich above
all, but also Bartok and Prokofiev) filtered through the most evoluted rock and, as usual, without
compromises. The atmosphere of the songs, effectively dotted by the unmistakable voice of Olga
Podgaiskaja (also composer), is unquiet, sleepwalking-like, sometimes grotesque, underlined by Daniel
Charms and other Russian avant-garde poets’ lyrics. In a band of unquestionable technical value, in
particular Anna Ovchinnikova (cello) and Cyrill Christia (violin and composition) stand out, always in the
balance between virtuosity and more crepuscular mood.
