ZGA is a unique phenomenon in Russian post-rock music. There’s never been a band that would for so long, so consistently and with such dogged perseverance and dedication pursue the non-compromised approach to music. ZGA pretty much equals Nick Sudnick. Throughout countless personnel changes Nick has always been there - the mind, the heart, the soul, the creator and inventor of this unparalleled music. On first listen ZGA’s music is by no means sounded obsolete but obscure it very well is: asymmetrical rhythms, hardly any melody, distorted guitar paired with Nick’s homemade instruments. The result is an apotheosis of rhythmic industrial sound. “ZGA” is a very obscure, obsolete, and peculiar Russian word. It means something really miniscule and in the contemporary language it survived only as a part of an expression "ni zgi ne vidno" - “pitch dark”. FIGS is an acronym that stands for the names of four musicians: apart from bandleaders Sudnick and Fedorova there are two drummers: Alexei Ivanov and Marcus Godwyn (a Brit who has lived in St. Petersburg for many years now).
