“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 ↴
Я приду к тебе с цветами.
Ты посмотришь в окно, я уже тут
Стою с босыми ногами.
Ты скажешь: ""Как хорошо,
Что ты пришел с цветами,
Но только я не пойму,
Чё с твоими ногами.""
Мои замочила сандали.
Зато твои глаза
Блестят, как две медали.
Когда яблони цветут,
Всем девч
кам хочется любить
И хочется, как мне теперь,
Чтобы ты со мной был рядом.
Мы пройдемся вдвоем по саду,
Сядем на лавочку скомнатить.
Воздух свежий вдохнем мы вдвоем,
Душу согреет вечерний свет.
Ты скажешь: ""Как хорошо,
Вдвоем на свете снимаемся.""
А я скажу, что не знаю,
Как можно жить без тебя, без тебя.
The song "Яблони" by Ляпис Трубецкой is an ode to love, spring, and the sweet innocence of youth. The lyrics describe the arrival of the spring season when apple trees start blooming. The singer plans to visit their loved one with flowers, standing outside their window barefoot. The exchange between the two reflects the singer's fear of not being loved in return, but the sight of the loved one's eyes is enough to dispel those fears. The song has a nostalgic feel, as the singer reminisces about their past and wishes to be close to the loved one, strolling through the garden and taking in the fresh air and evening light. The lyrics capture the bittersweet feeling of first love, with all its joys and uncertainties.

Я 1983 года. Ох, ребят, люблю вас всех, нас всех! У нас у всех было не всегда радостное, но само счастливое детство. Я родилась в Киргизии, жила в России. Сейчас в Германии. Дрезден. Август 2023. Мне скоро 40. Вспомнила «Раеньку» Трубецкого, нашла. И потом пошло-поехало. Всё песни юности. Пацаны играли под гитару. Всех нас пораскидало из бывшего СССР. Я хочу, чтобы каждый из нас был счастлив!❤
Да, сумбурно. Но так захотелось написать.

У меня сын 12 летний ходит на гитару второй год, так вот щас мы эту песню с ним разучили и заодно бой научился делать. Я пою, он играет. Я безумно тащусь от этой песни. Следующую будем Жуки - Батарейка пробовать изучить. Приобщаю молодежь к песням моей молодости.
