TIK. LiteraDura.

"TIK" is a group that right from the first song conquered admiration of the entire country. At that, it was not a protest march or hymn, no heroic lyricism, pathos, aplomb – no. They simply quietly, with a somewhat sad smile began singing about "...weird creatures without brain and without roots" – and this was enough. However, it is not the only song that could be quoted – quite a bit of original pearls are hidden in the seeming simplicity of the lyrics. Take only the line that the "sovyety" did not built communism, because there was no sex there, but there was alcoholism"... In the end, they laugh not at anyone, but at themselves – and those who are the same as them. And this laughter is not harsh, but vice versa – good-natured, soft, because there is understanding in it, and there is no real conviction. People do not need to be improved – it is just enough to love them, with all of their errors and drawbacks. Then, possibly, they will want to correct something themselves... It is about literature. And in relation to music, it is modern city folk rock, in which the accordion and the trumpet play far not the least role. And it is absolutely not by chance, presumably, that "Liapis Trubetskoy" took part in recording of that very "Deer". Related souls, as known, long to each other – and here relations are quite obvious. Thus, meet – maybe, one of the friendliest debuts of the last months, light, but not empty at all "TIK".
