ПОЛИКАРПОВ

ПОЛИКАРПОВ is a Russian musical project fronted by singer-songwriter Andrey Polykarpov, known for blending raw, guitar-driven indie rock with moody electronic textures and candid lyrical storytelling. Emerging from Moscow’s underground scene in the late 2010s, his music captures a Gen-Z sensibility—mixing nostalgia, everyday struggles, and dark humor in tracks like "Дым" and "Не приду домой." His raspy vocals and DIY aesthetic give his work an unpolished, relatable charm that resonates with fans of gritty post-punk and modern Russian alt-rock.

With releases like "Колесо" and "Гелик," ПОЛИКАРПОВ has carved out a niche for introspective anthems about love, disillusionment, and small-town life, often backed by hypnotic basslines and lo-fi production. While keeping a relatively low public profile, his tracks have gained traction on streaming platforms and YouTube, making him a cult favorite in Russia’s burgeoning indie scene.
