Julia Teunikova and Composite - "Timer"

Julia Teunikova third of c since 1996 - was the acoustic part of the "Magic Man", then the electric "City of Macondo" and the current "composite". Still, this is their first official album. CD. "Vyrgorod", 2009. Teunikova Over the years, the face of the Moscow underground, and the big loser of Russian rock. Nothing, apparently not stopping them on a par with or Zemfira Arbenina (except natural orientation). Sometimes Teunikova sounded "Nashe Radio", although, as a tribute to "Picnic". And again disappeared in the smoke from small clubs with a few curses against one "format." Julia Teunikova and Composite - "Timer" What's the matter - do not wait after all, no obscene language or vulgarity of the usual underground Teunikovoy. The answer carefully album "Timer", many of the ideas that were then in the demo tapes invented "roles" (2000) recorded. Teunikova nervous singing clever songs. Her husband Peter Akimov frames chilly accelerated Blues on the elegant trembling cello and bass. Styling is excellent saxophone Catherine Nesterova. Components refined, but all stacked together not cast in the brilliant magic goose bumps. Songs Teunikovoy remain in the icebox: nice and durable. Julia perfectly closed for empathy. Since it is impossible to identify the audience. Since none of the songs, "timer", or for a few cycles voice Teunikovoy not the handset revealed: what really like the song heroine that she hates who she is? With the man in the field to a sense of common experience impossible. And the music - it is the expression of feelings. Lack of expression of feelings sound like Teunikovoy indastriela with industrial sounds. This is especially noticeable in the "Received Date" and "outside of Moscow" - measured melancholy voice choir Julia robot repeats the sentence. Categorical rejection Teunikovoy Lyrics more than justified: to slander such a voice, "About Love" would be the postmodern buffoonery, but it is not peculiar to her character. Of course Teunikova much closer to the "Night Street" as Zemfira. Therefore, the subway. So until the end. I should add Teunikovoy obvious problems with singing. Once she leaves the usual monotony shows immediately restraint larynx. In capital letters, it turns into an unpleasant high-pitched sound (especially in the "Crimea"), in the bottom - insert the absence of attack and still in his throat. From the singer with 13 years experience expect a decent job with his voice. She just squeezed slander language texts and very ugly rough stretch long notes, ending with their awkward vibrato. The main value of the song Teunikovoy - is very layered personality Teunikovoy and read the lyrics of their songs sometimes more interesting than listening to the musical incarnation. Transformational in dealing with such and such a virtuoso instrumentalists. However, even the self-sufficient virtuosity not arise from an elastic drive - not once, not a single track! Snow Queen Teunikova deprive any vitality. And yet, like a scale in our rock songwriter - one, two, and a handful. Closed even if the reasons they added Teunikovoy not intended audience was experiencing the love of colossal masses, respect for the quiet voice of the underground, it certainly deserves.
