After a 10 year break, 5’NIZZA present their third album!
The guys are sitting in the kitchen and writing music. What they wrote, they record it with a portable recorder. Play it with a portable loudspeaker. Then they drop a bowl of black sesame butter. They sigh, and moan, and wipe it off. In the process, some phrases are born: ‘black sesame, black sesame, black sesame bu…’ Being happy about the new crazy song, they create chords, play, and sing it. The time came to choose the album title. ‘Maslo chernogo ku…’ – ‘Black sesame bu…’ was the first choice. Sesame butter and the sons of Ichma suggested the title KU.
‘KU (in Russian) is a warm-hearted greeting after a long absence. We carefully preserve that part of us for which we were loved so much, and we try to give a new life to our musical structure. There are a lot of new things in the music world, a lot has changed. We hear and see all that and we live through it. This album is some sort of a splash, some sort of a knot made of impressions and emotional stresses, redefined views on the world and on life in general’, says Sergey Babkin.
The album consists of 14 tracks, two of them, ‘Ale’ and ‘Daleko’ have been released earlier. Everything that’s happened wasn’t easy, as is it’s often the case with 5’NIZZA. These artists’ union and foolishness gave birth to a genius in sincerity and simplicity, both of which are so valuable in the modern world.
‘Our 3d album is an adult’s return to a children’s playground. An unbelievable synergy of two different elements that turned into something entirely different, something that is best described by the word KU!’, says Andrey Zaporoshets.
The band gained popularity after spontaneous sets at the KaZantip festival; illegally burnt CDs of debut album have spread across the country before the official release. For years now, these songs exist apart from their creators, sung by street musicians, played in courtyards on guitars that are out of tune, in the minds of several generations. The guys’ sincerity and synergy will never stop impress not only the audience but the guys themselves.
