A woman and two men sit in an auditorium with folding seats with red cushions. Between and in front of them are several white busts of mannequin-like female torsos draped, some with heads, some without. The woman has blond hair slightly longer than shoulder length and stares forward toward the stage. One of the men sits in the same row as her further to the right with two busts between them. He is looking at the woman. In the row behind, a man in a black leather jacket sits between two busts. He looks at the camera.

Dlina Volny

Last year, Dlina Volny produced a digital work for Pop-Kultur with »Tomorrow«: a mystery thriller short film. Now the band from Minsk comes to the analogue stage to play their cold-wave songs, which always seem to resemble David Lynch films, and not merely because they were mixed by Lynch’s producer Dean Hurley. Eastern European post-punk collides with Western synth-wave to the cool voice of Masha Zinevitch. The lyrics of the Belarusian band dance on the fine line between pain and euphoria, fear and passion, hope and deep despair. They themselves have also been through emotional upheavals: after the protests against the Belarusian government were suppressed, the band left their homeland and are currently living in exile in Vilnius.
