Mumiy Troll, voted “Russia’s most dangerous band” by Russian music fans have unveiled their new single and video, ‘Hey Tovarish’, released on 3rd September. Watch it here:
The band have been described as “the most significant musical entity Russia has produced since Perestroika” and their frontman Ilya Lagutenko is a megastar in his homeland, having been voted “Musician of the Year” numerous times by GQ magazine.
This release will be the band’s first in English, after 10 award winning albums, and will be followed by a full album in English, ‘Vladivostok’, also released in September. The album was made in Hollywood and produced by Lagutenko himself in collaboration with Mike Clink (Guns N’ Roses, Megadeth), Joe Chiccarelli (My Morning Jacket, The Shins) and Brit Greg Brimson (Bush, Eminem). Lagutenko described the album as “a magical trip through the vibes and emotions of my countrymen, a virtual Trans-Siberian trek, like a Russian guide taking a Western backpacker across the vastness of Russia—but in reverse.”
The band expect to announce a full UK tour soon.
