Pod tonkoy kozhey (Russian: Под тонкой кожей, English: Under thin skin) is the compilation album featuring early songs written by Aleksandr Nepomnyashchiy between 1992 and 1993.[1] The album was recorded in 1995.
The album represents an early stage in Aleksandr Nepomnyashchiy's work, characterized by existential motifs, themes of divine abandonment,[2] and the total fragility of being.[3] Its style is described as depressive, melancholic[3], bleak, and honest.[4] At the same time, critics note that this lends the album a "unique charm" and a stylistic signature "unlike any other".[3] A friend of the artist recalls that Aleksandr Nepomnyashchiy wrote these songs in the dormitory of Ivanovo State University, under unbearable conditions, while he was a student in the philology department in the early 1990s.[3]
The album was first released in 1995 on cassette by Studiya Kolokol.[1] It was reissued in 2021 by Bull Terrier Records on CD, featuring commentary from his friend from Ivanovo, Konstantin Sharonin and new design.[5]
