It’s very much about photographs in Последний кадр (The Last Frame), and about memories that resurface after a long time. И только эти фотографии напоминают о том, что когда-то всё было так здорово – and only these photos remind you that once, everything was so good.
From Пекинский Велосипед (Peking Bicycle), based in Yekaterinburg. The band’s name also refers to a 2001 film, commonly titled Beijing Bicycle or Shiqi sui de dan che (Filmpro.ru, IMDb).
Последний кадр is the opening track of the EP Не хочу забывать (Don’t Want to Forget, 2018), with the title words also appearing in the song. Lyrics can be found on Genius.com, with a translation after some scrolling, as well as on Bandcamp.
Check out a live performance (2016), which seems to take place in a rehearsal room. You can also (try to) play along with Kaness music, who deserves more subscribers.
Find them on Facebook, Instagram, VK.
Listen via Apple Music, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Spotify.
