Musicians of the band once mentioned that this was their first studio album (in the sense that the recording and mixing took place at a professional studio, unlike in case of their previous works). This is not a collection of the best (20 steps = 20 years) – this is another concept, a completely independent piece. Another cycle. Despite there are a couple of familiar songs with new arrangements, there is a lot of material that cannot be found in previous recordings. Overall, the album sounds like a gentle drive manifestation of the idea that magic realism is not somewhere, it is just under your nose. Maybe, this is due to the gentle musical allusions to The Doors and others like them, neat stylistic "inserts". Perhaps – it is absence of didacticism in the lyrics and of any mention of magic, as opposed to the skill of noticing the details that make up the everyday life – but noticing in a way that the listener slightly shifts the "assembly point". The reality's magic is routine, this is what one can hear and feel here at full force. It even seems that it is easy. Who knows. But – it is still beautiful.

Note! The album was in parallel released in the format "book+CD" – and this release is also available on our website.
