Boombox. III.
The third full-format album by Boombox group has all chances to appear the group's best one for today at the same time – at least, such feeling appears already from the first seconds. And that is logical – always sticking to, on the whole, the same stylistics, with every new step the group perfects quality of the material. Or let us say otherwise: Boombox tries to grow not wide but high above itself, that is it is constructing a sort of a tower. Considering the name of the album – we can assume that the tower has three floors. The first one is music, in which there are fewer and fewer superfluous sounds, that is why all lines are now well seen and sound even more expressly. The second one – the texts, in which more and more freedom, professional treatment of language can be felt. The third one is general energy, and it quickly grows – in pace with growth of the quality of the songs created. Thus, it does not seem just a chance that today Boombox, say in Russia, is almost more popular than at home (and this is in view of the really considerable popularity in Ukraine). And for a long time already it has been surprising nobody that exactly this music sounds in quite a lot of taxis... Well, a little more not about the name of the album. The songs in it sound, certainly, in three languages. Majority – in Ukrainian, minority – in Russian, one – in English. Probably, this can be perceived as a hint at that the long promised work on an English album is already in process. Well, if the quality grows as it is growing now – that will be a real boom. Let's wait. The third is not odd.

Stereoliza. XYZ (X-amine your zippa). /re-edition 2007/.


This project, without exaggeration, has all chances to become in Ukraine one of the most interesting. "Stereoliza" combines pop music, elements of hip-hop, electronics, something of the disco mood – and the mix appears actual both for Ukraine, and, literally, for the whole of our round Earth. It by no aspects concedes to the best world pieces of the genre.

Alfa Alfa. Rozprjahayte khloptsi koney. (Hey, Unbridle Horses)


You can hear Ukrainian folk songs mixed with such styles as hip-hop, soul, reggae, R'n'B – we should say that the combination has appeared interesting indeed. And the thing is even not only the mix of styles – in the end, there is lately no lack of experiments in this direction. However, whatever you might think, no "white" voice can be compared with what you will hear here.

VovaZiL'vova. Presenting: YoY#1.


You now have the opportunity to hear not only a new work by VovaZIL'vova, but also to meet an enormous number of his friends and colleagues in business. Among them, there are already known ones, and those who are not. Listen yourself – there are really plenty of talented people able to create good and bright hip-hop of a high quality.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

VovaZiL'vova. Vyno, kobity, patifon. (Wine, lasses, gramophone)


...And this man is hurt and cheered exactly as you are – certainly, if it hurts and cheers you up. He simply remains himself – and it impresses much stronger than any imaginary coolness. Because one feels – it is not empty here.
Domestic price: 320.60UAH, International price: $22.90USD

D.Lemma. ...ce nashe. (...it's Ours)


This group was founded not so long time ago but still it was loud ambitious at once. Anyway it was not without a good reason...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Vchid U Zminnomu Vzutti. Prosto.


It is very easy to “hook” your ear on the hip-hop by V.U.Z.V. First, there are no questions concerning the quality – it has appeared both sated and simple. And the second reason is the texts. Combination of cute jive and easygoing humor – the combination advantageous and rare.

AntytilA. MLNL. /digi-pack/.

Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

AntytilA. Hello. /digi-pack/.


It seems that Antytila have finally discovered and tamed their wave: the new album is almost entirely composed of "blockbusters" – one imagines the picture where these songs sound at a stadium scale.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Serhiy Babkin. Muzasfera. /mini-pack/. (MuseSphere)


Babkin manages to avoid profanity: his music had became lighter, but not primitive, the lyrics have become more concise – but have not slipped into nonsense (besides – for the first time! – all songs of the album are in Ukrainian), in the end, the scale of the artist has changed, which is perceived in the way it is presented.

Patrycia. Lechu. /digi-pack/. (I'm Flying)


The first thing that catches the eye is the musicians' regard to the pop rock aesthetics of the 1980's and the 2000's. It's not about copying as such – but this almost-retro flavor works as a properly selected spice: it helps to open up the base. Well, and the base is the ability to create good melodies and expressive arrangements..
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Epolets. Dity morya. /premium, eco-pack/. (Children of the Sea)


..it seems that they are about that all of us once came out of water of the World Ocean. Our paths converge, diverge, interrupt, go on, intertwine – and sometimes it is love, while sometimes – confrontation. But always(!) there is something in common for all of us..
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

AntytilA. Sontse. /digi-pack/. (Sun)


The new album by Antytila was released unexpectedly quickly – but the title "Sun" seems to imply that there was no need to wait, that the time came. Or – were the new songs so much burning inside that one had to release them as soon as possible? However, the cover of "People Like Ships" by Skryabin here may indicate at something quite different
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Arsen Mirzoyan. Paperovy snih. /digi-pack/. (Paper Snow)


On the one hand, there is a bunch of components in the musical canvas, and participation of jazz musicians, a children's choir, or a full-fledged brass section emphasize that – the arrangements turn out diverse. On the other – there is still the feeling as if you listen to an album sung just with the guitar. However, it is rather an advantage...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Green Grey. Glaz leoparda. /digi-pack/. (The Leopard's Eye)


Green Grey decided not to abandon the combination of electronic music with rock aesthetics – though, now there is somehow more of the latter, so one can hardly attribute this music to the light one. The elements of dubstep and hardcore are far not the only ones in this puzzle...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

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

Nedaremno. Stezhky do tebe. /digi-pack/. (Trails to You)


"NedaremnO" tries to sound different. Not too "trimmed" – and it has its advantages, because lack of syrup makes the taste much more honest. There is some special drive – that young groups had in abundance 10 to 20 years ago, but which many of the current "novices" often lack.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Okean Elzy. Tam, de nas nema. /re-edition, digi-pack/. (Where We Are Not)


The first album of nowadays well-known Ukrainian group is in front of you. By the way, for the first time the glory has knocked to them due to a song "Tam, de nas nema"...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

O.Torvald. Acoustic. /digi-pack/.


...the sound appears really clear, light, and sometimes almost fragile. Actually, it is possible to compare – because, in addition to new songs, you'll find here several songs from the previous album "In You". This is not yet homely comfort – but this is not desperate thunder of large scenes either, definitely.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Pianoboy. Prostye veschi. /digi-pack/. (Simple Things)


To say that Pianoboy has pleased us with his debut work – it means to say not enough. I do not know who has been expecting for what – though after Okean Elzy, Esthetic Education and Zemfira one could hardly seriously anticipate a failure? – but I suspect that the album will surpass most expectations
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. Brussels. /digi-pack/.


The main thing is that this music is not committed to a certain style, but rather to a certain brand, a quality of expression. So, if for the sake of this quality one needs to add some atypical colors – it happens in an easy and natural way. Such a cool simplicity. At the same time – it is a team play, in which no one pulls the blanket over himself.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Radioraj. Moya heohrafia. (My geography)


The "Radioheaven" project is a good example of rock music created just for the love of the process, not for any mercenary considerations. Thus, there is no cheap epatage, adolescent humor and disregard for detail in the sounding. While there is a quest for their own path, self-respect and, at the same time, self-irony.
Domestic price: 152.60UAH, International price: $10.90USD

TIK. Vesilny. (Wedding)


...the trademark self-irony is still there. To make sure – the first song from the album will be enough. Though, indeed, the rest of the songs also meet this sort of a definition: irony plus clownery. Need I say that both the first and second are not limited to smiles and jokes, subtle and not too subtle?
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

The Britalin. Season 1. /digi-pack/.


The Britalin really pleases both with the level of performance, and arrangements. The lyrics are not deprived of some sense either, and sometimes they are quite provocative – it is nice. And, moreover, there are two leading vocals at once – male and female – and that diversifies the sound and adds a certain semantic intrigue.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Vombad. Pereplyvu okean... (I Will Swim Across the Ocean...)


...A sort of an album of ballads. If you do not listen attentively – it seems very balanced. But when you are attentive – that is when the second bottom opens: it is an album of deep feelings, bright experiences and, at the same time, quiet reflections. Not speculations on a topic, but exactly – individual reflections.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

NeDilya. Fortissimo.


..the impression is that Dilya has finally discovered and realized what he aspires to in actual fact. The impression is that "Fortissimo" is currently not only the best of his albums, but also one of the best pop-rock albums of the recent time in general. It resembles a picture drawn with wide strokes, skillfully and freely, with passion – but also a lot of attention to nuances.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Yansen Kukansen. Dupadzhonidepa.


..the group performs cheerful rock with admixtures of pop punk and the aftertaste of hippy aesthetics. And it appears, really, sunny and positive – even though humor is far not the key (although noticeable enough) constituent of the songs' lyrics. This, in the end, is nice – because there are now more and more groups that try to joke, while we hardly witness more jokes)
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Sertsevyj Napad. Golden $hits.


"Sertsevy Napad" is only five years old, and now you see the first official album by the group. But the guys decided not to wait long and to start from the middle – therefore, the disc is not simply an album, but a sort of a "the best" collection. That is what the title hints at, not without irony – "Golden $hits".
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Kviten‘ Ruin. Restavratsija. (Restoration)


The very first sounds with which this disc starts inspire quite a stable association with rock music of the 1960s and 1980s – actually, a pleasant association. But – and this is also pleasant – the style palette of the album is varied and saturated enough. That is, this is rock, in which there is roll, and hard, and art, and atmospheric poetry and just poem...
Domestic price: 166.60UAH, International price: $11.90USD

SunSay. SunSay.


This album was about to become the third work of the band 5'nizza – but unfortunately, while working at the album the musical concept was changed so much that the group broke up. Nevertheless, on the basis of it there appeared a new project the front man of which is Andriy “Sun” Zaporozhets. So the name of it derived from the leader's one.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Boombox. Trymay. (EP). (Hold)


Boombox is one of those groups, which have their own appearance from the very beginning. Therefore, they spend their time not to create some unique style, but to find new colours. And every time these colours get more and more intense – the proof is in front of your eyes.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Mandarinovy Raj. Podyvys‘ u vikno. (Look Through the Window)


And it is difficult to clearly define what the thing is, why exactly these songs warm you – but there lurks behind the external simplicity a sort of correct filling – unobtrusively, as a rain at night in summer...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Serhiy Babkin. Motor. (Action)


His audience is growing if not with the speed of a lightning, then – incessantly. At that, in three directions simultaneously. One – the listeners who came to love his own songs. Second – the audience who keep track of his theatrical life (i.e. "Theater 19"). Third – readers who value interesting poetry.
