The multilayered and unpredictable 2020 album 'Volch'ya Yagoda' fromTHEODOR BASTARD,inherits the band's recognizable multi-genre approach where psychedelic trip hop, combinedwith cinematic instrumentals and archaic world music, meets modern technological electronics.THEODOR BASTARDcombine Russian texts with glossolalia and shamanic spells as easily as they change instruments on stage.

THEODOR BASTARDis one of Russia's most unusual bands representingthe electronic Karelian neofolk genre. Also elements of dark wave and trip hop are present in the band's music. The messagedoesn't carry out everyday problems and is mainly focused on mythology and shamanism. The hallmarks of the band are the unique and bewitching lead vocals of multi-talentYana Veva and the impeccable sound producing skills of Fedor Svolotch,founder of the band who created the band 20 years ago.

From album to album,THEODOR BASTARDcarefully and masterly combine many different exotic and traditional instruments. The special northern atmosphere of their albums is created with Nordic nyckelharpa and jouhikko, primeval flutes created from tree roots and shamanic percussion.

"We live in the north of Russia in Karelia, which has a difficult fate"statesband leader Fedor Svolotch. He continues:"This is a harsh northern region with unpredictable nature, with spruce and pine forests. Bears are found here. Moose and hare come straight to my house. In Karelia there are beautiful cliffs and clear lakes with fresh water. These are our personal places of power, the places where stones and winds are talking to us. Singing for us a songs of the northern harsh nature".

THEODOR BASTARD's music is set out to takelisteners to unexplored and other worlds. Fromthe cold and twilight realms of the marshy swamps of taiga and mossy tundra, to unexplored places where the earthly plane and the spiritual world are separated only by a thin ghostly veil.THEODOR BASTARDconsists of 6 musicians, turning their performances into a dark magic act that sends the audience back to Northern musical traditions, to the Karelian and theRussian folk. The musicians use a variety of electronic devices and ethnic instruments, but also their own hand-made instruments from stones, human bone and the roots of Karelian birch.

'Volch'ya Yagoda'provides you with the special northern atmosphere which is created with Nordic nyckelharpa and jouhikko, primeval flutes created from tree roots and shamanic percussion. And as always, the leading role in the album belongs to the voice of Yana Veva, exciting and bewitching by its deepness!
