Vasyl Lyuty (bojan Zhyvosyl). Orijana. Zhyttja jak je. (Life As It Is)
Well, finally a new disc by the boyan Zhyvosyl – Vasyl Lyuty – has appeared. I think that anyone who had already heard his songs before could not help waiting for something new. There is such force in his texts, and in music – live indeed – that it is almost impossible to listen indifferently, not to get penetrated with it. This time the album is already not semi-acoustic one, singing is accompanied by a lot of melodious and rhythmic lines. And so many of them are intertwined that there is the feeling of a deep and free space – now the voice is not the main but the first among the equal instruments. The impression of power and saturation arises. However, the voice of Zhyvosyl is still a separate topic to take into account. It seems to me that its truthfulness would even be able to raise empty music at the level of normal one – to say nothing about music that obviously goes from the heart... By the way, here it is possible to hear a few songs already familiar from the previous disc – and thus, to evidently make sure of qualitative changes. As to me – changes that are appropriate and interesting. Even the fact that on the album there is no, so to say, dominant influence of live instruments – does not spoil the impressions. At the same time – I know that Zhyvosyl fruitfully cooperates with young rock groups (for example, with Vognesmih). Therefore – I will keep my fingers crossed so that next time Vasyl Lyuty did gather around himself a dozen or two of like-minded people able to play with him both in the studio, and on stage. This music deserves wide scopes – undoubtedly.

Foma, Mandry. Chas letyt. /digi-pack/. (Time Flies)


Some of these songs could be heard at Foma's performances back in 2014. Time flies, sure – now there are more of them. Because the theme remains unchanged – the war, which came about then, lasts as of the eve of 2018, when the album is finally released. The country is painfully transforming itself. The price is loss of illusions, inoculated so long ago and so deeply...

Rock-H. Spivanochky pro lyubov. /digi-pack/. (Melodies About Love)


It would seem that with such a title one should expect from the album if not pink tears with ruffles – then, in any case, some average ballads. But "Rock-H" from the very beginning stood out against the background, and this time, too, they do not disappoint.

Vopli Vidopliassova. Chudovy Svit. /digi-pack/. (The Wonderful World)


Even though "Wonderful World" seems to continue the trend of combining rock aesthetics with ethnics – now it sounds different. It sounds as if the band was able to rethink and synthesize all the previous groundwork – thus, when Oleh Skrypka defines this new piece as "velvet symphonic punk", that is not that much of an exaggeration..

Dark Patrick. Rise of the Underworld. /mini-pack/.


..It’s hard to pinpoint exact influences that aptly mirror what Dark Patrick is going for here, though a safe bet would want to include nods to numerous strata of organic electronica, soundtrack ambient, world ethnotronica, psych and trip-hop. Additionally, the band claims some affiliation to the fertile soils of reggae, dub and trance...

"The long expected has finally happened – "VV" has republished its works of the past years. Cult one – you won’t call that anything but that. The album "Muzika" is something considerably more than just a music product or some high-quality goods. This is an idea, embodiment, revolution, hope, and joy, and a thousand of things in one."
