I discovered them a few months ago from a youtube recommendation, even though I don’t speak russian and can barely read cyrillic I think their music sounds amazing. It feels kind of serene, almost what I’d describe as chill but with a sad undertone. Spokoynaya Noch is definitely my favorite among the songs I’ve heard so far. I was expecting them to sound more like Molchat Doma but was pleasantly surprised with what I got instead.
It’s like the most famous band in Russia. People still talk about and remember Tsoi fondly. Molchat Doma is a modern band and unrelated to Kino.
I know they’re unrelated, I just thought they were when I first heard them because they were recommended right after a Molchat Doma song. It’s good to know they’re still famous though!
