Tjuktji (pronounced as 'Chukchi' IPA: /ˈt͡ʃukt͡ʃiː/) is a musical band founded as a solo project by a single musician.
The owner of the band is Dylan Larsen, a young man hailing from the central regions of northern Sweden.
The band's music is a fusion of folk rock, rock, and post-punk and new wave influences from the 80s and 90s.
Dylan's preference for recording music is analog, although he is not hesitant to use other forms of technology when necessary.
Being artistically inclined, dedicating himself to music was a natural choice.
As an artist, it is only fitting that he collaborates with everything related to art and craftsmanship.
His inspiration draws heavily from his indigenous roots,
where he can communicate his emotions to create a spiritual environment.
Through his lyrics, he desires to speak to the soul,
which is why they may seem dark and gloomy, while still highlighting the bittersweetness of life.
Sudba was written as part of a collaboration, in the context of the events 2022-2023, this was the first song written by Tjuktji fully in Russian to combine a beautifully rich but harsh language with an elegant melody. The song dwells into themes about deep melancholic love, dark imagery, a longing for the past, and about the current world as a whole. The monotone singing combined with the post-punk style of the song makes you want to sink into oblivion. This song was chosen to be the competitor for P4 Nästa.
Дождь по крыше стучит,
напевая Вивальди,
в сером небе река
под названием Грусть...
Я иду в ближний лес,
слышу стоны деревьев...
Это души людей
плачут,
жизнь вспоминая...
Воздух постепенно холодает,
и тонут далеко ушедшие суда.
Свет солнца туча мрачная скрывает,
тоскою предначертана судьба.
Как летала душа
от любви замирая...
Но злодейка-судьба
привязала корнями
их надежно к земле...
И руками ветвей,
нежно небо лаская,
тихо плачут березы...
Тихо плачут березы...
Нежно небо лаская.
Воздух постепенно холодает,
и тонут далеко ушедшие суда.
Свет солнца туча мрачная скрывает,
тоскою предначертана судьба.
