The musical language of the album can be described as symbiosis of rock music and Russian traditional music. The sound of Russian folk instruments (zhaleika, sopilka, ocarina, floyara, jolomyga and others) is interwined with guitar passages and a rather heavy rhythm section, and spiced up by modern electronic and virtual instruments.
On the whole, Spring Land is a way to look at ourselves, at our land and its dramatic history. It’s an attempt to raise challenging issues and to give our own answers.
