Lumen: Influences

Lumen's gritty style is rooted in classic punk, but also draws deeply on Russia's heavy rock wave of the '00s. Whether it's the politically-charged twists and turns of Dead Kennedys' "Soup Is Good Food" or the heady gothic folk of "Brother, My Cup is Empty" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, these tracks exemplify dark sardonicism and ferocious passion.
