Tesla Boy is charismatic frontman and producer Anton Sevidov, who from an early age learnt to speak the international language of music through his father’s old vinyl collection that included Ray Charles, Prince, Stevie Wonder and Blondie. From here, a clear affinity with ‘80s pop and soul from the US and Britain emerged, and has since played a strong role in crafting the Tesla Boy identity. From their beginnings with the release of debut single 'Electric Lady' and first LP 'Modern Thrills' in 2010, the sounds of Tesla Boy’s global influences are immediate, with their acclaimed follow-up single Split, produced to a high level with deep catchy melodies and disco undertones.
Band members Leo Zatagin (bass), Mike Studnitsyn (drums) and Stan Astakhov (guitar) complete the Tesla Boy lineup, coming together to round out the trio in 2010. A collaborative project at its core, all music and lyrics, stylistic decisions, concepts, and the direction of music and production, are made collectively. At the forefront, Sevidov remains the heart of the band, with his penchant for charming songwriting, complimented by the band's incredible musicality and tantalizing live shows that have created a cult following in cities across the world.
Following the standout success of their sparkling debut, 2012 saw the band return to the studio to work on their highly anticipated second album, 'The Universe Made of Darkness,' due to drop May 21, 2013. March saw the band share the first single, '1991,' an infectiously optimistic groove that is an exciting teaser to the finished LP that takes their previous albums' 80’s inspired synth sounds to even further heights. Second single 'M.C.H.T.E.' is a bouncy and percussion heavy track with rhythmic, funky bass lines and synths that flicker across the surface. 'Broken Doll' sees the band team up with London crooner Tyson to create a dark, full-bodied and sensual track. As the chorus of the track would suggest, 'Broken Doll' is an invitation to the dance floor, with Tyson's vocals positively electrifying as he asks, "Do you want to dance?"
As only a preview to what is to come, it is obvious Tesla Boy are not to be mistaken with passing club trends that have come out of Russia in previous years. Tesla Boy carry a shiny pop sensibility, combined with sleek and sophisticated production that takes their nostalgic synth sound and punching soul hooks into the new wave era of EDM with global appeal.

Spirit of the Night
Tesla Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a fancy raven dress on
She's allright when everything's wrong
She is dancing in the streets all night
She is merging with the city lights
She can cheat you or can be your guide
She's a spirit of the night
She's a spirit of the night
She kneels me down
She kneels me down
I wear a plastic crown
She's a metropolitain girl
Maybe someone that I could have known
Maybe lives or maybe plays a role
She's a phantom flying like a kite
She's got twilight walking by her side
She's the one who allways on my mind
She's a spirit of the night
She's a spirit of the night
She kneels me down
She kneels me down
I wear a plastic crown
The lyrics to Tesla Boy's "Spirit of the Night" paint a picture of a mysterious, alluring woman who revels in the energy of the city at night. The opening lines describe her as a "metropolitan girl" in a striking black dress, a stark contrast to the chaos and confusion that surrounds her. Even amidst the turmoil of the city, she remains calm and collected.
As the chorus begins, the perspective shifts to that of the singer, who is seemingly entranced by this woman. She's described as a "spirit of the night," someone who can both deceive and guide. The word "spirit" suggests that she's almost otherworldly, a haunting presence that lingers long after the night has ended.
The second verse continues to build on this theme, with the singer musing on the idea that this woman may be someone he knows or has seen before. She's compared to a "phantom flying like a kite," suggesting that she's elusive and difficult to grasp. Even so, she's a constant presence in the singer's mind.
Overall, the lyrics to "Spirit of the Night" paint a vivid portrait of a woman who embodies the city at night - its seductive energy, its dangerous allure, and its infinite possibilities.
