Alisa Essentials
Playlist - 18 Songs
Since forming in Leningrad in 1983, Alisa have released more than 20 studio albums and had almost as many members—though vocalist Konstantin Kinchev has been a constant presence since 1985. Starting off as more of a post-punk outfit, Alisa have shifted in sound over the decades. Mellow moments of new wave contemplation such as on “Лодка” (“A Boat”) sit alongside boisterous, synth-tinged frenzies like “Aпрель” (“April”) and chugging hard rock anthems including “Вот так” (“Like This”). Enjoy this comprehensive overview of the band’s lengthy career and the many forms it’s taken.
