Annotation
In the story of our songs one can hear murmur voices of water streams, rustle of wind in the crowns of giant beeches, voices of birds and animals, kindly smiles and light words. People that still believe in miracles and coloring of lands, where crossed shabby shoes of fate, gave us the subjects. And heart prompted the notes. And let the songs that were born, more look like their masters, than like gently preserved souvenirs.
History
All began with the record of experimental ambient album without a name, which in discography is still marked as "Tamlin or Julia's Vynogradoff Dreams". It pretty quickly found its audience in Russia, Poland and Lithuania. So Tamlin got first fans. Then, in far 2003, Julia and Oleg, the founders of the band, decided to make their music free and the second album – "Shadows of Past" (Тени Прошлого) – published on the Moshkov's portal. Discs also were presented at "Morgesnstern", festival, that took place in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, in April 2004. In summer that year band moves to Germany. Links with German musicians, nostalgia and foreign culture had a strong influence on next four albums of the band. Oleg at the same time started to play in German heavy metal band "Burning buses". Tamlin also became a little bit harder. Parallel with studio work, duet actively travels through the Europe and make small sessions under open skies. In that period were created 4 albums and two videos – "Raven" and "Dr. Robin".
In the beginning of the autumn 2007 Tamlin returns to Ukraine. From that time it is no more a duet. Now they have a regular staff.
Current History
Now Tamlin stands on crossroads. But it's normal condition for the ones, who saw many roads.
Style
Their style Tamlin themselves characterize as folk-rock. They actively use different ethno-instruments. In their music are places for Armenian duduk, Chinese Hu-Lu-Si, Irish Harp, Australian Didgeridoo, Russian Balalaika and quite modern e-guitar. One of the band's visit cards is also change of instruments during show.
