Штабеля

**Штабеля** (pronounced "Shtabelya") are a Russian indie/post-punk outfit making waves with their gritty, synth-laden sound and existential musings. Known for tracks like *Система всегда даёт сбой* ("The System Always Fails") and *Роботы никогда не победят* ("Robots Will Never Win"), they blend raw guitar riffs, pulsating electronics, and deadpan vocals to critique modern alienation and societal burnout. Their DIY ethos shines through lo-fi aesthetics and lyrics that oscillate between nihilism and dark humor, resonating with Russia’s underground scene. Releases like *High Glitter* and *Лучше уже не будет* ("It Won’t Get Better") showcase their knack for merging dystopian themes with danceable grooves, cementing their status as reluctant poets of a disenchanted generation. Keep an eye on these moody sonic architects.
