Belarus has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in 2021. Following the disputed election result of 2020, the mass protests and accompanying crackdowns and arrests, and in 2021 a couple of suspicious deaths of activists who fled to Ukraine, it looks as though the country is going to end the year with an ongoing proxy war with Poland and the EU, using refugees as pawns.
It is, it seems fair to surmise, probably not a great time to be making music in Minsk.
Dlina Volny's darkly sinister sounding synth pop acknowledges this state of affairs with their video for 'Tomorrow', albeit obliquely, and there is also something quite Cold War about the sense of unease situated at the heart of the video. The song itself is an absorbing, soaring slice of dark electro that hooks you in and doesn't let go until the very last utterly absorbing note.
