Кружок

**Кружок** is a Russian indie/lo-fi project known for its raw, DIY charm and introspective lyrics that blend everyday mundanity with existential musings. Emerging in the late 2010s, the band crafts minimalist, genre-blurring tracks that sit somewhere between post-punk, bedroom pop, and lo-fi rock, often characterized by gritty guitars, deadpan vocals, and a wistful, off-kilter atmosphere. Songs like "Обед" ("Lunch") and "Жизнь и смерть на поляне" ("Life and Death in the Clearing") reflect their knack for turning ordinary moments into poetic vignettes, while releases like "Рок" ("Rock") and "Дезертирую" ("I Desert") showcase their stripped-down, emotionally resonant sound. Кружок keeps a deliberately low profile, avoiding the spotlight in favor of letting their music—often shared via Bandcamp and social media—speak for itself. With a cult following drawn to their unpolished authenticity, they’ve become a hidden gem in Russia’s underground music scene.
