Zvuki Mu (translating roughly as "Sounds of Moo," a playful short form of Zvuki Muzyki or The Sound of Music) was a Moscow-based Russian band formed in 1983, known for its blend of alternative rock, indie rock, and post-punk. The group’s frontman and primary songwriter, Pyotr Mamonov, stood out as an influential and unconventional personality within the Russian artistic community, recognized for his surreal lyricism, unique vocal delivery, and energetic live performances.
The 2013 music video for "Sea of Love" by The National, directed by Sophia Peer, drew inspiration from Zvuki Mu’s video for Grubyj Zakat. In 2015, Mamonov revived the band with a fresh lineup under the title "Brand new Zvuki Mu."
