1. Fedor Chistyakov "Unwanted Song"The reunion of Zero in honor of the anniversary of the group did not last long - after the ban in Russia “Jehovah's Witnesses”, Fedor Valentinovich decided not to return to his homeland from the American tour. His new solo album in an understandable way is inspired by these events - here, with his back to the back, there are songs with headlines like “propaganda”, “art of licking” and “a madhouse is invincible”. “Here is the geometry of Lobachevsky and the theory of incredity, fall out of here soon, otherwise there will be troubles” - the most understandable message, decorated with the most understandable words; And the number here is that this is acute dissatisfaction with what is happening in Russia provokes Fedor Chistyakov to his almost the most straightforward-energy album. The “unwanted song” is designed in the spirit of forced rock and roll under the button accordion-with rocaby melodies, blues and gypsies from behind the stove. As the plate develops, the material is noticeably more complicated. Somewhere in the area of the 21st century number, rock and roll turns into almost itself the forecast, and the evil cartoons of plots (in the title song, for example, the forest terrorize the brutal bears that lead their own orders) give way to the equally direct and honest conversation with the sky in the central issue “How I will live”. A stupid thought is probably a thought, but still: to, of course, it does not become easier for artists or to us all, but music from a frontal clash with cruel reality is born a cool, most sincere, most genuine one. Live.
