Green Grey. Metamorphosis. // www.UMKA.com.ua

Even if you have not heard the previous album, you understand at once that the guys are in the state of active quest for inspiration. At that, activation seems to become a key notion here, both in the sense of lifting some energetic wave, brisk enough to capture you with its fullness and motion, and in that sense, in which the word "activation" is used. It looks as if the guys have found some alternative accumulator in themselves or outside - and connected to it with persistence, which is usually typical for young guys of 17. It is quite unexpected, as Green Grey has recently been somehow even, slow and almost depressed. I am speaking about general mood, general impressions rather than about specific songs or projects. That's the very reason why this unexpected wave of fresh cheerful energy is very pleasant. It looks as if you had met a friend who hadn't left the house for some years making model planes of matches - and suddenly you find out that he has become a persevering diver. At such moments you start thinking - isn't it too early for you to be sure that you know yourself and the world around you very well?
All songs are in Russian.

..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.

Gouache. Simple me. (CD+DVD).

"Gouache" has already become one of the most noticeable and interesting recent novices. The guys immediately set the goal of, so to speak, "western" quality – and they are successfully implementing their objective. Everything went right: having heard songs by "Gouache", our audience frequently fails to believe that it is a purely Ukrainian product sounding.

Green Silence. .

The group says about itself that in the search for its own style it arrived at funk with jazz – and afterwards added into the mixture blues, Brazilian and Hutsul ethno, and not only that. The search continues, windows are open. Suggestions are being accepted. In the end, it is really so – here, it is possible to hear a mixture of "everything with everything", but the mixture is sustained, not aimless eclecticism.

NeDilya. NeDilya.

...the thoughts which are a bit difficult for uttering by forceful recitative. The thoughts which require an unhurried development in the form of emotions and intensive examination at different shades of light. The thoughts which look more like the shadows of thoughts, the track of rash silver fish which have flashed by somewhere in the depth...
