about

"This track is a cover version of the song by the emo band Those Days Have Passed, Can't Be Got Back from Novosibirsk. Their album "We'll Never Be Closer Than We're Now" was a powerful (yet involuntary) statement on the topics of history and time.

I believe that some of the lines of the songs on that album contain more clarity and thoughtfulness than specialized monographies on memory studies do. I'm working as a history teacher and two years ago my graduating students wanted to perform this song at their prom but failed to find tabs. My version of "Zola'' sounds as it's being played, but it's actually compiled — I was re-tuning the acoustic 12-string guitar for each accord more than 20 times.

A tiresome process indeed, but the result totally worth it. The final part of the track features a fragment of field recordings of the Oparinskaya narrow-gauge railway on the border of Kirov Oblast and Komi Republic, which doesn't exist anymore — it was dismantled a year ago." –– Egor Klochikhin aka Foresteppe
