Album lore

...Который возвращается, released on August 29, 2007, by Илья Калинников, presents a measured entry in the lineage of Russian rock. The band Високосный год crafts eleven tracks steeped in the soft rock tradition, threading through the familiar textures of the genre while maintaining a distinctly Russian sensibility. The featured track "Метро" typifies their approach: restrained guitar work underpinned by steady rhythms and vocals that carry a conversational clarity rather than theatricality.Though its circulation remains modest, with just over 8,000 listeners and 45,000 scrobbles on Last.fm, this album holds a quiet resonance for those who seek the subtler expressions of Russian rock from the mid-2000s. Issued on a label named for its proprietor, Илья Калинников, the record is an artifact of a niche scene, offering a snapshot of a band engaged in the ongoing dialogue of their musical tradition.
