About the process of recording an album
“For eight months we rented a house in the far suburbs of Moscow. The house against which we stand on the cover of the album is really the house in which we now live and make music. We have a view of the pine forest from the window, and also very cool neighbors who feed us kebabs. And when you are going to go to the evening party to get to the taxi, you have to put on shoe covers on white sneakers, because we have rural roads. There is nothing special around, only alcoholics and mothers with children. Of course, I don’t feel like getting out of it all - it helps to focus on music and other tasks, does not distract anything. Plus, the nature around - this is probably partly why the album turned out in Russian. Around Russia alone without embellishment [9] ”- IC3PEAK
Why did the band suddenly decide to sing in Russian?
“In the previous albums, the lyrics were in English, this made them accessible and understandable worldwide. At the same time, this made it possible to speak out on any topics without consequences. The lyrics of the album “Sweet Life” are very personal, but they concern everyone. This is a dialogue with his generation without a language barrier and any distance [9] ”
