There Are Songs About Russia and What We Went Through.” StopTime Released Its First Album

“There are songs about Russia and about what we went through.” The band StopTime has released its first album. Noize MC helped the musicians during recording. Here is what the band told the podcast “What Happened”

The band StopTime became known by performing covers of “foreign agent” musicians on the streets of St. Petersburg. After a series of “carousel” arrests, vocalist Diana “Naoko” Loginova and guitarist Alexander Orlov left Russia.

In exile, the musicians recorded the album “Into Nowhere From Nowhere”. In an interview with Vladislav Gorin, they said they had worked with Noize MC. “I write everything myself: the lyrics, the music, and the ideas. But I try to consult people all the time, because there are some doubts that Vanya [Ivan Alekseev] and people from his team help dispel,” Diana Loginova explained. She added that “there are, of course, a lot of hopes for the album, but it is very scary: how it will be received, how people will listen to it, whether they will listen to it at all.”
