Wild Sounds: Vagiant, IWFYLS, Colonial Hunter, and Crocodile Mansion

Much inspiration can be drawn from the scale of Russia's wilderness; it certainly informs the music of many local ensembles. These four bands, however, look further still across the horizon...

Loud Protests against Time: Fairy Meds, IWFYLS, and Audience Killers

These three bands are from Riga, Ryazan, and Samara. They span a wide range of styles, from shoegaze to garage traditions. What they all share, however, are concerns about the irreversible passage of time.

Secluded Songs: On-The-Go, Waltz for Jesse, Song of Eleven, and IWFYLS

The four collectives under examination here come from various corners of Russia: Togliatti, Magnitogorsk, Ryazan, and faraway Altai. That common thread of distance not only plays an important role in the development of modern lyricism; it's actively cultivated, too.
