Three tracks by Дурной Вкус (Durnoy Vkus), which means “bad taste” but serves us the opposite. The band is from St. Petersburg, the music has a classy coldness. Enjoy.
Думаешь ты (Do You Think, 2020)
From Светомузыка (2020).
Explicit lyrics, simple chords.
Звук и темнота (Sound and Darkness, 2019)
Аlso on #Зимние каникулы. 9 минут до конца года (2019). Alternate versions with animation (2020), live (2020), and slowed (2021). Plus a guitar cover that begins with I don’t speak Russian very well (2021).
Пластинки (Records, 2018)
Приходи ко мне, слушать старые пластинки – come to me, listen to old records. The lyric video with translation (2021) below is a gem, and there’s also a doomer version (2021).
Performed by Никита Костяев (2020) on bass, and by Евгений Матыкин (2020) on guitar. Юнон Аур (2021) is still learning. Clip teaser (1 m) in Пост-панк: Слушаем пластинки (Космос, 2020), while the opposite extreme is one hour long.
