Latexfauna is an Ukrainian chillwave band. Performs songs in Ukrainian and Surzhik. Founded in 2015. Surzhik - elements of two or more languages, combined artificially, without compliance with the norms of literary language. The use of surzhik provokes mixed reactions from listeners: while some criticize musicians, others consider it a feature. However, according to the author of the lyrics and vocalist Dmytro Zezyulin, he uses surzhik "naturally" in the lyrics because he does not think in literary language.
