Today CANVIL’s EP “Четыре, сыро” was released, with the track “Олечка”. A snippet of this track went viral on TikTok, and I’m the one who’s been waiting for the full release.

What is the track about? As short as I can explain: on March 1 a law was passed in Russia banning the “promotion” of narcotics. But here any mention is treated as propaganda. This track is ironic, a protest against that law. It plays with the names of medicines/remedies, with a subtle hint at “misuse.”

I also tried to translate the lyrics into English, but soon realized it’s a thankless job: every line needs an explanation. Still, if many people end up liking this track and there are requests for a full translation, I’ll finish it.
