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 Kino, as well as post-punk royalty like Joy Division. More than just a time capsule, Ploho's music serves as an eerily perfect soundtrack to our own strange time as well.
Formed in 2013, the trio has emerged as a household name in its native Russian Federation and has slowly built up a dedicated fanbase in Europe and abroad. To date, Ploho has recorded four albums and several EPs, as well as more than 10 singles, which they supported by touring more than 40 cities in Europe, several times. The band has appeared at prominent festivals including Боль in Russia, Kalabalik in Sweden, and Platforma in Lithuania.

PLOHO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Стоят зеваки на мосту
Им всё равно на что зевать
И валит дым из труб тюрьмы
Горят пытливые умы
Никто не будет их искать
Им больше нечего терять
Им больше нечего терять
Им больше нечего терять
Пообещавшие рассвет
Вложили в руку пистолет
И наблюдают с высоты
Те, что кричали громче всех
Давно сменили крик на смех
И дружно прячутся в кусты
Им больше нечего терять
Им больше нечего терять
Им больше нечего терять
Им больше нечего терять
The lyrics of PLOHO's song "1991" describe a scene of chaos and destruction. The first two lines depict missiles flying towards Moscow, while onlookers stand unaffected on a nearby bridge. This could symbolize the apathy and indifference of the general population towards the unfolding situation. The third line "Им всё равно на что зевать" (They don't care what to yawn about) emphasizes this point. It suggests that people have become desensitized to the constant barrage of negative news and events, to the point where even a missile attack on the capital is almost mundane.
The next two lines paint a picture of a smoking prison, as inquisitive minds burn inside. This could represent the suppression of creativity and dissent in society. The following lines claim that no one will search for these minds, suggesting that society is indifferent or even pleased with the suppression of intelligence and creativity. The repetition of "Им больше нечего терять" (They have nothing left to lose) reinforces the idea that the people have reached a point where they are indifferent to their own well-being and the well-being of their society. They have lost all hope and are willing to accept whatever fate comes their way.

Летят ракеты на Москву
Стоят зеваки на мосту
Им всё равно на что зевать
И валит дым из труб тюрьмы
Горят пытливые умы
Никто не будет их искать
Им больше нечего терять (припев)
Пообещавшие рассвет вложили в руку пистолет и наблюдают с высоты
Те что кричали громче всех давно сменили крик на смех и дружно прячутся в кусты
@pveshka
Как же песня хорошо описывает нынешнее происходящее.
Складывается ощущение что люди действительно живут с фиолетовыми очками и до последнего как из фразы вначале "под дурманом" не хотят скидывать их.
