Sami Svoji. Smarahdy. (Emeralds)
In order to belong here, you need to, probably, be an urban resident whose roots grow deeper than the asphalt level. You need to, probably, feel that culture grows simultaneously in steppes, and abroad, and at shooting, and through fortune telling, and on memory, and on awareness. Not only due to, but also – despite a lot of manifestations of this world. You need, probably, to afford being sharp, acute, rebellious, incompatible – and on this edge to confront contradictions, to mix them up, to re-fuse. And – to take from them something of one's own, live. Sami Svoi do not look for rest – at least, not now. There are too many things requiring purification – it is not the time to sit with your hands folded. The matter of this life expects for labor – and Sami Svoi have the necessary energy. It is revealed in everything – and in the lyrics, none of which is just rhymed gibberish. And in the voice of Oleh Suharev – a bit nervous, mobile, it attracts attention, does not let you calm down and be distracted. And in the music – the violin and electric guitar seem to argue with the rhythm section and the voice of the panpipe, and simultaneously feed them up. In the end, in order to belong here – you need to, probably, be yourself...

Arlett. Arlett. /digi-pack/.


..Eventually, the debut album by Arlett generally somehow avoids excesses, sticks to certain mainstream – which, incidentally, has its zest. It is read as being without a mask, simple expression, a sort of a light conversation. Due to which, probably, there will be a chance and the will for a deeper conversation.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Dyki Sertsem. Bez zayvykh sliv. /digi-pack/. (Without Further Ado)


..The key issues covered in the texts are the request for people to have trust in their power, to help people around, to value beloved ones, to smile at every day, to learn from old mistakes, and most importantly – to be themselves.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Okean Elzy. Gloria. /re-edition, digi-pack/.


...the quality of the album – yes – deserves compliments. May be, for the sake of that it was worth while changing the group members – with the exception of Guru, of course. Now it is interesting what will happen next. Because judging by ears – to be continued.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Mekhanichny Apel'syn. Tsyrk kvitiv. (The Circus of Flowers)


...their second album "The Circus of Flowers" sounds much more balanced and serious, and in many other ways different. Stylistically, it is still based on blues-rock, and even with little insertions of reggae, ska, etc, this is the same band. The Mechanical Orange remains itself.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Trans-Former. Terytorija trojand. (Territory of Roses)


Thus, there are no sophisticated constructions, flirting with the public, theatrical gestures here – but there is simple, and thus strong rock music. And there are the lyrics – probably, not too sophisticated, but thus no less meaningful. Because, in the end, one of the key features of "Trans-Former" has been and still is – honesty.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Trans-Former. Styhla vyshnja. (A Rip Cherry)


And we will hear the music that is quite rare today in Ukraine – pure rock. Clear rhythms and texts not deprived of the existential, firm guitar turns and energetic male vocal – yes. This is just the color that has been recently lacking in the variety of Ukrainian music, and it’s a pity.
Domestic price: 166.60UAH, International price: $11.90USD

Oleh Suharjev. Poklyk. (Call)


Maximally simple, clear concept – the acoustic guitar plus singing. And it means that lyrics come to the first plan – and, believe me, they are worth being listened to attentively, and not once.
Domestic price: 152.60UAH, International price: $10.90USD
