Umaturman - В Городе N

Review by Luis Guzman

Album Review: В Городе N by Umaturman – A Witty Dive into Pop-Rock Eccentricity Alright, buckle up, folks. We’re diving into В Городе N, the 2004 Russian-Ukrainian gem from Umaturman that’s equal parts poetry, soft rock, and a dash of "what did I just listen to?" chaos. With genres spanning Pop, Non-Music (yep, you read that right), and Rock, this album is like your quirky uncle who insists on telling bad jokes at family dinners—it’s weird but oddly lovable. First off, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: “Ума Турман.” Oh boy. This track comes in three versions—Original, Tarantino Version, and another Tarantino Version (because why not?). It's catchy as heck, with Vladimir Kристовский’s vocals riding smoothly over some killer guitar riffs courtesy of Sergey Kристовский. The song feels like Quentin Tarantino decided to make an indie film about Russian nightlife—chaotic yet stylish. You’ll find yourself humming it while stuck in traffic or trying to figure out if Uma Thurman inspired the title. Spoiler alert: she probably did. Then there’s “Реклама,” which might be my favorite guilty pleasure on the album. It’s got this cheeky vibe, like someone took all their frustrations with late-night infomercials and turned them into a pop-rock anthem. The lyrics are clever without being pretentious, poking fun at consumer culture with lines sharp enough to cut through a Tide commercial (pun intended because they also have a song literally called “Tide”). Honestly, it’s the kind of track that makes you want to grab a beer, sit back, and laugh at life for a bit. Now, let’s not forget the crew behind this madness. Sergey Kристовский isn’t just playing guitar—he’s doing backing vocals, programming, arranging, and probably fetching coffee too. Props to him for wearing so many hats he could open his own millinery shop. And shoutout to producer Alyona Mikhailova and Liana Meladze for keeping things together when it sounds like they could’ve easily spiraled into musical anarchy. What strikes me most about В Городе N is how unapologetically chaotic it is. Tracks like “А Не Поесть Ли” feel like random thoughts scribbled on napkins during a caffeine-fueled brainstorming session. Meanwhile, songs like “Мой Друг Лучше Всех Играет Блюз” bring a laid-back charm that reminds me of those nights where you end up talking nonsense with friends until sunrise. But here’s the kicker—the whole thing works. Somehow, this patchwork quilt of styles and moods creates something uniquely memorable. Maybe it’s the mix of humor, introspection, and sheer audacity. Or maybe it’s just the fact that no one else would dare put out an album with two versions of the same song AND a poem thrown in for good measure. So, if you’re looking for something different—something that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still delivers solid tunes—give В Городе N a spin. Just don’t blame me if you start craving borscht and existential crises afterward. Who knew listening to an album could feel like hanging out with a bunch of sarcastic poets?

Interesting fact about Album

Here's an interesting fact about the album *В Городе N* by Umaturman: The album is like a one-man show, with Сергей Кристовский wearing multiple hats. He handled backing vocals, guitar, keyboards, arrangements, and programming. It’s rare to see one person contribute so much to a project, but he made it work. The result? A mix of poetry, pop rock, and soft rock that feels personal yet universal. Another fun detail: the track "Ума Турман" has three versions—Original, Tarantino, and Тарантино Version. Quentin Tarantino would probably appreciate the nod, even if he never heard it!
