Non -time soundtrack: Tequilajazzz, Birtman, Sergey Mikhalok, Delphin, Vitamin Youut, Electric Partisanes, Chronop

Seven songs that are released this fall, and each indicates that we fall deep into the past. Any year in the yard, but not 2021. Living in the present is becoming more and more difficult, the experience of stagnant timelessness comes into memory by itself. But this is not only the experience of defeat, this is the experience of resistance too. And what a cool music was! .. You listen and think: then they survived - let's survive now.

Tequilajazzz. With yourself

The flagship of the Russian alternative to the 90s, Tekila did not release new releases as many as 12 years, and it seems that it was not there, remained in the past. And then suddenly in two weeks they sat down and recorded the album "Stones". Apparently, time has come.

The music became a little softer, without signs of Masafaka, popular in the 90s, but they have not lost their ability to write slaughterhous hits-the song “No one will remain” is already being spit on “Our Radio”.

The general concept is a cheerful apocalypse, as the leader of Tekiila Evgeny Fedorov, a bassist-virtuoso, a singer with a super-low and very melodic vocal. And the texts go roots already in the silver age. “With itself” is a fight with his own shadow: there is “black man” of Yesenin, and “with whom his bars leaked?” Pasternaka. There is little fun, but a small personal apocalypse is present in full growth. So it happens: you fight with evil, you suffer, hate, and then you understand that your main enemy is, here it is, in the mirror. You can handle it - you can handle it and everything else.

Birtman. When chopped off youtube

“Birtman” is a megapopular project parody of the 70-80s VIA with their courtyard and restaurant romance. The main hits are “all the DJs of the roosts” and “the man shit” (a clip with Vasily Utkin in the title role). Somehow, they manage to introduce modern realities into the stagnant retro-nex: DJs, iPhones, YouTube, and this is separately ridiculous. I'm still waiting for a song about microcredits. She should sing a smiling, mustachioed middle-aged man with a huge, a strong collar, in Kleesh, and the girlish choir will pick up: “Lala-la, lala-lala!”

In a strange way, the Birtmanovskoye “when the YouTube is chopped off with“ when the oil ”“ DDT ”ends - also, by the way, the stylization of retro. And there is only one thought: if our super-technological and smug life will fail, it will only become better, we will finally return to ourselves. True, Shevchuk has love and freedom in priority, and Birtman has a bottle of “metropolitan” and dominoes with men in the yard. But the essence, if you think about it, is the same. “The thoughts will become pure,” one sings. “I will become much kinder,” another echoes him. Also a cheerful apocalypse is a kind.

Vitamin Youth. Russia

The company of Yekaterinburg avant-garde poets, playing music in the spirit of undergrand of the late 80s. Nearest associations: Auktsyon, Kiev college assessor, “Sounds MU”, “East Syndrome”. Absurd texts, experimental music, key image - miraculously surviving Soviet boys who saw everything that was here after 1991, and from this were damaged in the mind.

“Russia” opens the newly released album “They are us”, the annotation for it says: “How to collect a native country from anything.” Strictly according to the block: "Yes, and such, my Russia, you are more expensive for me all the edges." But about the album as a whole: "A painful and ugly transformation into ourselves." Love us with black, and everyone will love us white.

All this could be considered marginalia, if it were not for a bunch of musical finds, wild drive, unkind humor and crazy, but accurate memes: “We are old currencies, we are sunny rays, we are julius jackets, we are Rzhev’s guarantors ...”, “I come to the doctor, she treats, I fly ...”, I fly ... ”.

"Russia gets up from his knees and plays KVN!" Was it worth it to get up from the knees for this?

Poet Dolphins and Friends. Dig

One of the best modern poets Alexander Dolphin is in an unusual genre. In English, this is called “Spooken-Book”, telling stories to music. If you are familiar with the work of Tom Waits, then you will not be surprised, he loves, playing along with himself against the background, poison the prison and road stories.

Delphin’s stories have many stories, and they are all very scary. Mostly about drug addicts and bandits of the 90s. You listen, and as if you find yourself in the film “Gangster Petersburg” or “Boomer”. A man digs a grave - the favorite theme of the same Waits and Nika Cave: “I came to an end to fun days, but I can’t go to jail. I was captured for the bad guys - get ready for the worst. It’s a pity, you understand life when you go to the bottom. Two meters deep, two meters deep and meter wide. ”

On the one hand, this is already folklore, retro - all these transportation into the forest, showdowns, digging graves. Chanson, Blues, Noir. And on the other hand, you read the news about the current atrocities of the security forces and understand that little has changed. It’s just that before the bandits had no shape and xiv.

Electrosyans. Bombs

This was customary in Soviet times: if you want to legalize - write about the struggle for peace. The rockers were wildly angry with this pacifism from under the stick, composed mocking compositions and generally perceived this genre as an inevitable load, appendage. I will play compulsory hack, but with it - my present.

According to the genre of Soviet anti -war song, the “Aquarium”, “Hiroshima is still burning, Hiroshima is still burning” “Zoo”, “I declare my house by a nuclear zone” “Kino”, “Pukes in the ass” of Zero and much more. At Auktsyon, these were “bombs” for the verses of Oleg Garkushi.

The composition is very strange. With gurgling, deliberately moronic vocals and monotonous keyboards. Not to mention the text: “At night, the windows play with light. And in the trash, the children sob ... The woman in the bar is backwards. A girl at school dreams of peace. ” All together is a typical example of primitive conceptual creativity.

And then, after more than thirty years, all these stamps about the terrible capitalist society, about the world of cleaning, like many other stamps of Soviet propaganda, suddenly turned out to be true. At least, the Electric Partisan group Vadim Kurylev is now singing this song quite seriously.

Kurylev is a convinced pacifist, organizer of the festival “We do not need war” and other anti -war shares. In his lips, the words “the planet sighs heavily / bombs transport / pipe pipe” - not a parody. This is today's state of affairs that must be fought.

Drezden. Guillotine

Drezden is Sergey Mikhalk, who, in theory, should be more serious and relevant than his own Lapis, but no matter what Mikhakov play, it is difficult to forget that he sang green-eyed taxi and “you threw” with the same mouth. Prefire: tragedy and humor in one bottle.

The new track “Guillotine”, contrary to the brutal name, is not about revolutionary terror, but the guillotine of the time, which decreases the most greyhound and daring, removes acuteness from events, makes us humble, safe:

*There used to be tomahawks,

And now all Tamagochi.

Previously, even a hare bubbled,

And now the lion laughs.*

It is no coincidence that the track appeared in the fall of 2021. Mikhakov with his supernatural instinct caught the main thing in the air: the heroic period is declining, the time of individuals ends, the farther will be “cut along GOST”. Entropy takes up, froze - and enough. The conclusion is disappointing, but someone must draw disappointing conclusions.

Chronop. Broken fender and bad alcohol

Excursion to the rock and roll past from the legendary Nizhny Novgorod Group Chronop. Whiskey, vermouth, sex with a young bass player, perestroika tour. And a touching clip to tears, where an elderly solid lady recalls all this. Well, her gaze, already getting out. “Everything that has not come true came true,” Vadim Demidov sings in the code. It only seems that life was spent on trifles, nothing was the most important in it.

Simultaneously with the “Fender”, the “chronop” was published by the song “Shahunya” dedicated to the memory of the Nizhny Novgorod journalist Irina Slavina, who committed suicide a year ago. “Live and do not try to understand,” is sung in it. “Live” - today this is the main word.
