LUCIDVOX

Moscow-based rock band Lucidvox is made up of four delicate girls – Alina (vocals), Galla (guitar), Nadya (drums) and Anya (bass) – although their music is anything but fragile and girly, and gestures at nothing that could be associated with typical gender stereotypes. Inspired by traditional Russian singing and contemporary garage bands such as Goat and Flamingods, Lucidvox puts out a powerful and assertive psychedelic rock, based on folk melodies and the imagery of Slavic myths. Following their performance at Tallinn Music Week 2017, the quartet caught the eye of the English-language media. 'Lucidvox are a revelation', the well-known British journalist and leader of punk band The Membrances, John Robb enthused in the authoritative music blog Louder Than War. And Robb is not alone in being highly impressed by how this band of musicians from Moscow are stretching the boundaries of Anglo-American alt rock. In 2018, Lucidvox performed at the biggest festival of their professional career, the Slovak open air Pohoda Festival – with headliners that included The Chemical Brothers, Ride, and St. Vincent. There is little doubt that this is only the start of what is set to be a magnificent musical career.
