Standard tuning. Splean are among the most-streamed Russian rock bands and this remains their signature song. The arrangement is built on a driving, repetitive mid-gain riff with a lot of delay behind it, in the post-punk lineage that Russian rock inherited from Kino rather than from American hard rock. Keep the gain moderate — this is crunch rather than distortion — and set the mids around flat so the riff sits under a very forward vocal. The song's power is cumulative and repetitive rather than dynamic, so resist adding variation. Recorded 1998 in St Petersburg.
