“We came from the underground and became popular with our pop-culture parodies. One day to my horror I realized that our group has become similar to the objects of our parodies and mockery. We were starting to merge with all those pop-star crowd, but I’m not one of them and never wanted to be,” - Sergey Mikhalok, the band’s leader says. He admits that it wasn’t so easy to give up the show business game and become independent once again.
According to him, “it was very difficult to get our true essence back on top. And the thing wasn’t about any contracts. We had to overcome public opinion and, most importantly, set our own minds free. At first, my internal discomfort from the gap between the authentic “Lyapis Trubetskoy” and its public image was relieved by hard drinking and other stuff, but when my weight peaked at 110 kilograms and my mind was about to collapse, I gave up everything, lost 25 kilograms and started to play the music I like.”
“Capital” is the second independent album by “Lyapis Trubetskoy” after the “Zoloty’ye yaytsy” (“Golden Balls”) created in 2004 under heavy reggae and ska influence. “While working on “Zoloty’ye yaytsy” we didn’t understand what to do with our independence. As a result there were some reflex attempts to score a radio hit with “Rain’ka” or “Pochtal’iony” (“Postmen”), - Sergey Mikhalok says. – But this wasn’t the biggest problem. The whole album was overproduced, we tried to mix too many styles, musical instruments and sounds in it. So, we paid too much attention to the form instead of the essence. We were in need of a real professional who could tell us what was good and what was too much.”
That is why searching for a sound producer was one of the main tasks while working on “Capital”. At some point the band wanted to record their album in London, in the hometown the legendary British ska-band “Madness” (one of Mihalok’s favourites). When almost everything was ready for that, a chance interfered. At a concert in Kiev “Lyapis Trubetskoy” met a famous Ukrainian sound producer Vitaliy Telezin. He worked with “Okean El’zi”, “Brat’ia Grim” and other top Ukrainian/Russian artists. But it wasn’t the thing that attracted Mikhalok and his friends.
“We are from the same generation with him, we had common world outlook, we liked the same music. And it was the music we wanted to record on our new album. I don’t want to offend anyone, but, roughly speaking, for our band he is the first studio guy who didn’t need explanations about what is California wave or how “Green Day” and “Offspring” make their sound,” - Mikhalok says.
And this combination has worked perfectly well. Now it’s already clear that the new album will mean to the band and its fans no less than the legendary “Ty kinula” (“You Gave Me Up”) in 1998 and will give a rise to the new popularity wave for “Lyapis Trubetskoy”. Still, according to Sergey Mikhalok, the ideology of both the new album and the present group is different from what used to be in the years between these two landmarks. He says: “When I started my career I used to write songs that changed me and the world around me, but later I began to create stuff, that didn’t have influence either on me or the world around. At best those songs could be a soundtrack for some wedding or birthday. And what is horrible at some point I even used to be proud of that. But now I have come back to what everything started from – to a mix of biting satire and powerful chords.”
Video clips have played an important role in the album presentation. The first clip for the song “Hare” (“Enough”), a cheerful wedding trash-video, was filmed by a famous actor and new wave director Vladimir Epifantsev. The second clip, animation video “Capital”, which has become a real Internet sensation, was made by Aleksey Terekhov, co-author of the legendary “Au” (1998) and “Rozochka” (1999) videos. "Capital" has hardly appeared on TV, but has already won several prizes and got a lot of nominations on the different video & music festivals in Russia, Belarus, Portugal and so on.
Frontman Siarhei Mikhalok anounced mid-March 2014 that the group would ceased to exist the next 1 September.

Ляпис Трубецкой Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Пьяных воробьев с Крыма
Воздухом дышать мало
И ходить и ждать устало устала
Украду тебя, украду ночью
Увезу тебя, увезу в Сочи
Мудрая луна спрячет
Желтая листва с крыши
Девочек вокруг тыщи
Ну а нету мне до них дела
Лишь бы на меня глядела, ты глядела
Украду тебя, украду ночью
Увезу тебя, увезу в Сочи
Мудрая луна спрячет
Папа, мама пусть не плачут, не плачут
.
Украду тебя, украду ночью
Увезу тебя, увезу в Сочи
Мудрая луна спрячет
Папа, мама пусть не плачут, не плачут
Украду тебя, украду ночью
Увезу тебя, увезу в Сочи
Мудрая луна спрячет
Папа, мама пусть не плачут, не плачут
Ничего с тобой не случиться
Ты будешь счастливая, я тебе обещаю !
The lyrics of Ляпис Трубецкой's song "Сочи" portray a desire to escape from the monotony and exhaustion of everyday life. The singer yearns for a change, symbolized by the mention of the Crimean drunk sparrows that the wind will carry away. The air is stifling, and the act of walking and waiting has become tiresome. In order to break free from these mundane circumstances, the singer promises to steal their beloved and take them to Sochi.
Sochi, a city in Russia known for its beautiful beaches, warm climate, and vibrant nightlife, represents a paradise where the singer hopes to find solace and adventure. The wise moon will conceal their departure, so their parents need not worry or shed tears. The yellow leaves on the rooftops and the presence of countless girls around do not interest the singer; all they desire is for their beloved to look at them.
The repeated lines at the end of the song emphasize the singer's determination to make the escape a reality and ensure their beloved's happiness. They promise that nothing bad will happen, and the beloved will finally find joy as they take them away to Sochi.

Ветер пронесет мимо
The wind will pass by
Пьяных воробьев с Крыма
Drunken sparrows from Crimea
Воздухом дышать мало
Breathing is not enough
И ходить и ждать устало устала
And tired of walking and waiting
Украду тебя, украду ночью
I will steal you, steal you at night
Увезу тебя, увезу в Сочи
I will take you, take you to Sochi
Мудрая луна спрячет
The wise moon will hide
Папа, мама пусть не плачут, не плачут
Let mom and dad not cry, not cry
Желтая листва с крыши
Yellow leaves from the roof
Девочек вокруг тыщи
Thousands of girls around
Ну а нету мне до них дела
But I don't care about them
Лишь бы на меня глядела, ты глядела
As long as you look at me, you looked
Ничего с тобой не случиться
Nothing will happen to you
Ты будешь счастливая, я тебе обещаю !
You will be happy, I promise you!
