Siberian Post-Punk: Main Hits and New Album

Friday, March 7, 2025

Gazarte Ground Stage | Athens

 

Known for their melancholic melodies and nostalgic lyrics, Ploho, the post-punk trio from Siberia, are embarking on a seven-city Balkan tour this March. Originally from Novosibirsk and now based in Belgrade, Ploho have become one of the leading representatives of the new wave of Russian music, blending post-punk and new wave with a cold and lo-fi sound that is unmistakable!

 

Formed in 2013, Ploho draw inspiration from the aesthetics and sounds of the late ’80s and early ’90s, capturing the emotional essence of the twilight years of the Soviet Union. Their music tells stories from industrial Siberia, exploring themes of loneliness, nostalgia, and resilience, all conveyed through a raw yet deeply human perspective.

 

Their latest album, titled Почва (Pochva – Soil), marks a significant moment in their musical journey. Created amidst personal and global turmoil, the album reflects not only the ghosts of the past but also the pressing reality of the present. Its minimalist, raw, and stripped-down nature captures the anxiety and melancholy of an uncertain world. While deeply introspective, the album also carries subtle anti-capitalist and existential concerns. Despite its heavy themes, Pochva offers moments of light melancholy, expressed through ethereal synth melodies and sounds influenced by the shimmering ’80s, creating a hypnotic yet danceable journey through human fragility and hope.

 

With a discography that includes four studio albums, numerous EPs, and collaborations with notable artists like Molchat Doma, Ploho have extensively toured across Europe and beyond, performing at major festivals and mesmerizing audiences with their atmospheric live shows. Their music is often compared to Joy Division, reviving a sound that reflects the starkness of Soviet architecture and evokes emotions that resonate through time.

 

During these concerts, Ploho will perform songs from Почва alongside fan favorites from their extensive discography. Don’t miss the chance to witness a deeply atmospheric performance by one of the leading bands of the genre today!
