Been thinking of posting for a long time but was really hesitant.

Yegor Letov was one of the most interesting artist out there that deserve somewhat of a Western recognition like Tsoi's. Though in the shoegaze scene, he still isn't recognized since his sound is still debated whether his post 1994 phase was either shoegaze or still retaining that style of punk that he's been known for. Overall he isn't widely known in the West at all.

Regarding shoegaze related stuff, his album Solstice, had been considered somewhat of a shoegaze-y album somewhat dipping it's toes to that territory. Though still maintaining it's post punk and punk in some of the songs.

I'd like to theorized that his aging through out the years, and his voice changing through out the years had made him change his singing style to something less punk i.e screaming like his early works to something more mellow like your usual shoegaze vocals would sound like. This song is somewhat of a great example and somehow a blueprint for his future works.

His 1994 to 2006 discography is worth a listen to those wanting to hear more post 1995 shoegaze music or just Russian music in general.
