Drezden is a Belarusian and Ukrainian electronic band founded by Siarhei Mikhalok. [1]
On February 19, 2018, information appeared that Sergey Mikhalok, the leader of Brutto and several other bands, was organizing a new electronic project, for the formation of the core of which he had already enlisted the support of Okean Elzy guitarist Vladimir Opsenica and producer Vitaly Telezin. [2] According to Mikhalok, he was always a fan of new wave, the German new wave in particular, and concealed the dream of creating his own band in this genre. [3]
Together with the announcement of the creation of the band, work began on the band's self-titled debut album, which was released on August 30, 2018, on the label Soyuz Music. [4] On the same day, a music video was released for the title track of the disc “Drezden.” [5]
The album Drezden itself received a mixed press, while critics could not get rid of obsessive musical and stylistic associations with other Mikhalok’s projects: Brutto, Lyapis Trubetskoy, Lyapis-98. [6] [7] [8] In total, 4 singles were released from the record (“Drezden,” [9] “Ронин,” [10] “Айсберг,” [11] “Коалы” [12]), for all of which music videos were shot.
Simultaneously with the release of the debut album, it was announced that the band had already begun recording the second one. [13] In the fall of 2018, keyboardist Pavel Mikhalok ( Siarhei Mikhalok's son and member of Super Besse), bassist Ales Myshkevich, known for playing in Lyapis-98 , J:Mors , beZ bileta, Krambambula, guitarist Pavel Velichko from Yellow Brick Road, and beZ bileta's drummer Denis Shurov, who had already collaborated with Mikhalok in the bands: Brutto, Lyapis-98, and Lyapis Trubetskoy, bolstered up the band's lineup. [14]
The remaining musicians of a concert tour, which is scheduled to roll on in the fall of 2019, will become known later. [15]
The name of the band comes from the Russian pronunciation of the name of the city of Dresden, Germany, in which frontman Sergei Mikhalok was born in 1972. [16]
