Provenance / liner notes (English translation)

Current text

The sole full-length album by Daugavpils ska-punk outfit Deti Granta ('Grant's Children'), recorded in 2001 at the studio of Konstantīns Dzedzelis.

The album captures the uninhibited spirit of early-2000s Dvinsk underground culture: a high-octane blend of punk drive, spirited accordion, brass, and turntablist scratching. Alongside satirical punk re-imaginings of pop and folk standards (including Ukrainian folk tune 'Ty zh mene pidmanula', 'Marquise', and A-ha's synth-pop anthem 'Take On Me'), the record includes the band's beloved original anthems: 'Kosmodrom', 'Dunula', 'Ostav telefon', and 'Son'.

Recording lineup:
Vantuz — lead vocals
Goblin — guitar
Chuven — 2nd guitar
Konstantīns Dzedzelis (Dzedzel) — bass guitar
Stas — accordion, trumpet, scratches
Oleg Samsonov — drums
