Post-punk rock, lean late-1980s Soviet sound with a dry, uncluttered analog-style mix and natural room reflections; dry driving electric guitar with restrained overdrive, melodic bass, compact punchy live drums; intimate, earnest male baritone with clear Russian diction, conversational verses met by roomy, unprocessed backing voices in call-and-response, their replies joining for a memorable communal chorus; raw, direct performance over a steady mid-tempo straight eighth-note groove.
