After the recent international events, Russia’s image would definitely benefit from anything hipper than invading a neighboring country (while pretending it didn’t happen). In this context, a new song by Russia-born, NYC based avant-indie composer/producer Olga Bell is just what the doctor ordered. The musician announced her sophomore album ‘Krai’ scheduled for an April release, inspired by the lesser-known corners of her homeland and written entirely in her native Russian.
Now… we are not very familiar with Russian music, but if it’s anything like this song… maybe it’s time to delve into it!
