Perestroika - Soviet Union Playboy

“Soviet Union Playboy” reflects a phenomenon which has evolved as the information age has inevitably come to alter and digitalize our reality, leading many to desire a simpler, less saturated existence - the phenomenon of artificial nostalgia about a past we have not experienced, expanded through the prism of the internet. Through our screens we feed on a distorted, aesthetically pleasing image of a much more complicated past, which we reduce to a beautiful shroud, in which we clothe our formless and confused identities. The characters in this music video experience reality through such delusions, drawing parallels with clichés in everything around them. Soviet Union Playboy is the second single of the band Perestroika. Available on all streaming platforms.
