Dvanov’s video for “шушан (shushan)” (“That’s It” in English) looks like it takes place in some near future of societal collapse and a simple act of solidarity in sharing drinks and other amenities and rolling through episodic experiences of people trying to eke out small moments of joy as they can in an otherwise bleak reality. The music is a seething industrial post-punk beat under almost spoken word rapping in Russian commenting on the stark reality of the scenes depicted and the confusion, disorientation and social disruption in life under an entrenched oligarchy and its impacts on everyday existence. Fans of “Come To Daddy” period Aphex Twin, the more dystopian end of clipping. and Sleaford Mods if that group stripped its pointed commentary of humor may enjoy this song and the rest of the St. Petersburg, Russia-based project’s new album семья (“Family” in English) which released on March 17, 2023.
