Band of brothers Saint Nomad on finding cultural solidarity in music
That concept feels especially relevant today, but for the brothers of Saint Nomad, it’s become one of the driving principles behind their lives as individuals, and a band. Nikita, Ruslan, and Yan Odnoralov were just small children when their parents moved their family from a small Russian city called Pyatigorsk between the Black and Caspian seas to Denver, Colorado, USA. Being halted into a foreign culture at a young age left them in a cultural purgatory of sorts – not completely Russian, but not completely American either. With supportive parents, the siblings forged forward as American kids, but with an edge; allowing them to see themselves not necessarily as “outsiders” but unique in their own right. It was music that helped them connect to their peers and the world around them. With a full length skiva and over 1,000 live shows under their belt, the indie pop trio is in the midsts of ro

[edit]| Year | Alb • “Through and through.” That’s how 19-year-old Elina Odnoralov describes the path of the bullet that pierced her left flank and exited her back as she strained to escape the assailant who’d kidnapped her in her car. She repeats the expression a few times while chatting about the incident while seated at a coffee shop in Arvada. She borrowed it from one of the paramedics who found her behind the desk of a Nashville, Tenn., bank, her bloodied hand clutching the entrance wound. Odnoralov has a habit of clinging to catchy phrases. She’s been writing songs since she was 7, the age that she and her five brothers started learning classical piano from their grandmother, who was an actress in musicals in Russia. While her peers were scoping out colleges, Odnoralov committed to the artist’s life, transforming into pop singer Iolite in 2016. Eight months after she graduated high school, she moved from Denver to Nashville to chase her dream, come what may. |
