What to listen to in October

In the almost ten years that have passed since the sudden origin of the Lemonday group in the bowels of YouTube , the duet Julia Nakaskova and Zhenya Il never managed to create a studio product, at least close to the impact on the brain that their first songs of young femininity produced. “Hello”, the first solo album of Julia after the collapse of the group (Zhenya has since returned to her native Shushenskoye Krasnoyarsk Territory, where they say, as they say, a wonderful ceramic of handmade), also does not make the same crushing impression-including because with all the recognition of handwriting (walking songs that are with a shallow girlish voice). Trying to dig in the same direction. There are sinter songs and observations, composed and performed by a man who has long been comfortable and calm in his own body, about what dreams about what can be seen from the train window about what the forest looks like. Julia’s main tool on this plate is a buzzing synthesizer (ridiculously inspiring associations with one album of the Orbital group, where there were extremely similar sounds in honor), but at the same time, “hello” with all its synthetic elasticity and some straightness of the rhythms is completely deprived of the air dreamy that can be a frequent guest on the albums of girls armed synthesizers. In these songs there is perseverance and directness, that's exactly the same as there is in the name of this album. “Hello, I did not bring anything to you” - with such words, Julia begins the title track, but the keyword in this line is still the first, not the third. She herself came and greeted firmly - this is the main thing.
