Messer Für Frau Müller, a Russian electronic music band from Saint Petersburg, was founded in 1991 by keyboardist Oleg Kostrow and guitarist Oleg Gitarkin. The duo gained attention for their unique approach to music, compiling sound bites from easy-listening pieces and old films, often incorporating snippets of German, Russian, and English dialogue from movies into their compositions. Their music also featured a distinctive blend of electronic sounds and traditional instruments such as bass, electric guitar, drums, and theremin. The band released the album Icicles Murderers in 1996, followed by Allo Superman! in 1999. Throughout the early 2000s, Messer Für Frau Müller produced releases such as Hyper Utesov Presents (1995) and Little Joys (2000). The band became inactive in 2009 but reunited briefly for concerts in 2016.
