Megapolis: A Fourteen-Year Wait, Just to Dance the "Supertango"
On May 19, Megapolis released their first studio album for fourteen years, "Supertango." Band leader Oleg Nesterov sketched the general context for this long-awaited event: "The album took exactly one year to record - over four long studio sessions, arranged as they might have been in classic Ko...
Mramornyi Morzh: Working Hard against Silence and Seven Time Zones
The band Mramornyi Morzh ("Marble Walrus") first caught our attention in the autumn of 2009, when the band released a remarkably catchy net-single. Another would follow in its wake. Together they became the groundwork for a debut album that has now appeared, apparently with the support of Moscow's...
Varia Demidova: "Paradoxical" Songs of Hope... from a City of Murderers
Varia Demidova is a new signing to the Moscow label Snegiri; so new, in fact, that virtually all materials relating to this singer come from two different sources. On the one hand we have official materials produced by Demidova's label; on the other, a collection of bloggers and forum members wh...
Vasilii Shumov & "Soderzhanie": Struggles between Form and Content
Yesterday a three-track EP appeared from the ramshackle St Petersburg outfit known as Samoe Bol'shoe Prostoe Chislo (The Biggest Prime Number, aka СПБ4,  aka Sbp4orchestra, etc...). Released under the name of "Zhivi khorosho!" (Live Well!), the EP's title would perhaps lead listeners to antici...
"No Oil, No Stress, No Noise": Singing Songs and Reinventing the Wheel
In the first few days of February, a new compilation CD appeared in Moscow with the title of "No Oil, No Stress, No Noise." It was - and remains - the editorial work of Snegiri Records and music journalist Aleksandr Gorbachev. Mr. Gorbachev contextualizes the CD - in Russian - as follows: "This co...
Sablia: The Difficult Choice between a Mortgage and "Miniature Music"
"Sablia," the Russian word for "Sabre," might suggest that we're dealing with a loud, hirsute and aesthetically challenged ensemble. Nothing, however, could be further from the truth. We turn immediately to Mr. Oleg Nesterov, owner and spiritual guru at Moscow's Snegiri Records. He has the follo...
KU Street Spring: The Growing Tempest of "Psycho-Pop, 2010"
This article marks the fifth occasion that we've turned to the wonderful work of Moscow-based outfit, Vesna na ulitse Karla Iukhana (aka "KU Street Spring" in English). For those readers who were absent on the previous occasions in April, June, and August 2008, or even June 2009, two things are...
Parney: Balanced between the Extremes of Happiness and Heartache
Parney are a hard-working, well-established foursome from St. Petersburg; their name (which, arguably, could be better spelled as "Parni"), translates as "The Guys" or "The Lads." There are two, if not more, reasons for this deliberately dull or unimaginable moniker. The first is that the band h...
The Future of Russian Music: Not for the Indifferent or Fainthearted
Last week, within the framework of Moscow's International Open Book Festival (held in the above building), a series of discussions were hosted by the entertainment magazine Afisha, dedicated to the nation's changing cultural landscape.  These changes, needless to say, are primarily being effec...
Snegiri: The Anniversary Compilation (and Some Happy Wishes)
The online journal OpenSpace has just joined forces with respected Moscow label Snegiri ("Bullfinch Records") in order to celebrate the latter's tenth anniversary:  "Dear Friends! In honor of Snegiri's tenth birthday, we've decided to offer you a good time - and recall how much fun we've alread...
Oleg Nesterov: "Iubka" (The Skirt)
Oleg Nesterov has remained one of the most important people in Russian popular music, a constant source of innovation and eager support for young bands on his "Bullfinches" label (Snegiri). On March 29 he published his first novel, entitled "The Skirt." In a move fitting his reputation for origi...
