"Album" by the music band Temnoyamsk

The album by the group Temnoyamsk, simply titled Album, is a book of black-and-white film photographs of the town of Svetlogorsk (Rauschen) in the Kaliningrad region, taken between 2005 and 2015.

The publication includes the lyrics of Temnoyamsk's songs, while the music itself, by the creators’ intention, can only be experienced at live performances. In this project, the authors aimed to capture the architecture and atmosphere of the historic town, which began undergoing rapid development with new buildings in the late 2010s and early 2020s.

"Temnoyamsk isn’t exactly a band—it’s a city. And we are its agents, whether touristic or perhaps simply secret."
