«Bajinda Behind the enemy lines» - a unique Russian band gathered two
years ago. Since that time the guys have created a great and imposing
musical material that will definitely interest both: the most
sophisticated critics and the general public favourably accepting modern
western trends brought to the domestic stage.
A very special style created by the band has a propensity for indie-rock
but still one can not describe it by giving the name of a single trend
in modern music. Yet to determine the musical proximity to the
well-known styles it should be said that the musicians grasped the
creative work of such musical bands as Placebo and New Order in rock,
U.N.K.L.E. in trip-hop, SPANK ROCK, N.E.R.D and THE STREETS in hip-hop
as the most valuable material existing in world’s music.
The creative conception of «Bajinda Behind the enemy lines» - the active
mixing of different elements of different genres, traditions in the
network of western culture on the border of intellectual “alternativeâ€
music and pop cliche; (that is called NINJA POP + KARATE ROCK!)
formed under the influence of everything happening in modern culture and
in pop music as its most active part.
The musicians of «Bajinda Behind the enemy lines» attain an especially
high for a Russian band quality of sound; they aim at creating a unique
mood. The technical side of music is subordinated to it: the rhythm of
the vocal with a delay (dub) effect is almost completely synchronized
with the furious drums sometimes having dancing niggaz sound and is kept
up by the tough aggressive bass as if pulled out from a drum’n’bass
party supplemented with a rough distortion of the guitar and trance and
trip-hop sounds of the piano, organ and synthesizer. The charismatic
vocal sometimes sweet, sometimes impudent, sometimes shocking flavours
to this complicated and interesting cocktail.
By now Bajinda has released the debut EP «Ah!/When Yeahhh!!!» (2006 -
«Weak Pulse Records»). A new full-fledged album is to appear in the
nearest future, but it’s already possible to hear some of the songs from
it at concerts.
