Tantsy Minus garnered wild acclaim in the aftermath of the Soviet Union's collapse. Their sound flits between gloomy post-punk and the nonchalant atmospherics of alternative rock, while vocalist Vyacheslav Petkun's lugubrious delivery blends seamlessly with brooding guitars and austere instrumentation. The result is a contemplative soundscape and unforgettable sonic experience—one that could sit easily in the same canon as bands like Madrugada, Tindersticks and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
