Comment: Duo Rafiev-Borisov continues their way offering a blend of spoken word and digitally processed austere sounds. This time the duo is complemented by Olga Nosova who operates with electronics and sonic effects and plays bass and drums. More concretely, the album is revolving around the texts of great Russian poets Pushkin and Lermontov, which is wrapped up by bent human voices, exalted and resigned declamation, dense drill-alike snippets and its hisses, and of course, "faulty", constantly interrupting electronic soundscapes. It is a spasm-filled oeuvre, moving inbetween acoustic shades and electronic luridness. All in all, at times rigid, sometimes playful.
