Biography - PLOHO
Based in Belgrade, Serbia, Ploho is one of the most prominent purveyors of a "new wave of Russian music," reflecting its homeland by way of a cold, wistful style of rock.
Wielding melancholy guitars, minimalist beats, and deadpan Russian vocals, Ploho draws inspiration from the aesthetic and sounds of the late Soviet era of the 1980s, just before the collapse. The band's bleak rock references Russian bands of that time period, such as Кино, as well as post-punk royalty like Joy Division.
