Lucidvox (from Moscow) self-describes (on VK) as ‘psyched-out krautpunk, noisepop / lucidcore’. No men involved in Lucidvox: four women – Anna, Alina, Galla, and Nadezhda – do all the work. This is how they sound, and what they’re capable of.
Runaway (Беглец) is the second preview for an album that’s to be released later this year (2020), ‘We Are (мы есть)’.
The band mentions (on Facebook, June 29): «Runaway» is also a hint to what future album is going to be like, very personal, very unique, very indifferent. That last word seems like a translation glitch, but who cares.
The first (April 2020) is Knife (Нож).
Be sure to also check out Videnie / Dym (Видение / Дым), two in one (7 mins). Also the title of the EP that features these tracks. Alongside Время прочь (2017).
From earlier (2015) is Не ходи (Don’t Go), from Омут.
