Сольвычегодск

Сольвычегодск is a fascinating Russian experimental act emerging from the DIY underground, blending post-punk grit with synth oddities and deadpan absurdism. Named after a small industrial town, the project revels in clanging factory-floor rhythms, distorted basslines, and surreal lyrics that poke at post-Soviet mundanity – think stray dogs, microwave dances, and bureaucratic dark humor. Their scrappy collage of sounds (see *Кой-чо ещё*’s wonky grooves or *Человек и закон*’s mock-TV-theme vibes) has made them cult favorites in Russia’s alt-scene, often collaborating with labels like Хмелик and Вредные Привычки. While shrouded in cheeky mystery regarding members, their Bandcamp drops feel like cryptic transmissions from a parallel universe where every housing block basement hosts a noise-punk séance.
