Yuri Andrukhovych, Mertvyj Piven'. Made in YuA. /eco-pack/.
Virtually each time when "Mertvy Piven" releases a new album it seems that this one is definitely the best. And it is not even about that in the course of maturing any group seems to play more professionally – here everything is relative, and technical mastery is not yet a guarantee of quality. But "Mertvy Piven" constantly changes, tries to create something new – and does create it. "Made in YuA" is not just a dedication to UA, although it is here that Yury Andruhovych acted not only as the author of the lyrics, but also as a full-fledged participating performer. (In contrast to "Criminal Sonnets", where he only read his poems, on this album Andruhovych took an active part in songs performance – and he even performed one of the songs himself. There is another sparkle performed by him – but you will hear that yourself already). "Made in YuA" is poignant texts with the genetic spirals of subtexts, delicate – excuse my tautology – rock melodiousness with burlesque and grotesques masks, with the already branded atmosphere of transparent dusk. As though a crystal – hard and cool outside, but live and changeable inside. The magic crystal charming both with its form and the content.

Well, and another remark: it seems that out of the whole Ukrainian "old school" underground it is this group – one of, unfortunately, few ones, who burns indeed, not just glimmers. As well as a dozen years ago, "Mertvy Piven" is a real, powerful battle unit able to inspire much brighter and contradictory emotions than nostalgia. Thank you)

Sheetel. Mr. White. /special edition, digi-pack/.


..it sounds as if somewhere at a rather strange intersection of indie/alt-rock/dark cabaret, without going into any of these territories explicitly, fully. And this is how, one step away from the clear line, they are forming their own space: broken, stormy and muffled, painfully sharp and – seemingly conscious of its mirages.
Domestic price: 320.60UAH, International price: $22.90USD

Postman. Everything Is New. /digi-pack/.


Postman reserves the right, being a participant of certain events, to step into the shadow behind the light boards and become an observer. A light man. The one who asks: why? at what price? what for? The one who answers: in the turmoil of trifle things, in random intersections, in uncertain movements of our hearts we remain ourselves..
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Postman. Being High. /mini-pack/.


..In musical terms, this is clearly stemming from what Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Donovan, and others were doing some long time ago. Stemming from – but not copying, it is just that in Postman's songs there are the same ease and the content that make it possible to anticipate the extra depth, without any prejudice to the beauty.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

5 Vymir. Novi imena. /mini-pack/. (New Names)


..this is a marker album and thoughtful preparation for the next step – at least, it sounds like that. Indie rock in Ukrainian is still not the mainstream in Ukraine, but 5 Vymir is just one of those bands that are able to change this situation for the better – there is enough musical and literary sense, charismatic manifestations, and they are not lacking ambitions. Let them just not stop..
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

5 Vymir. Mistolinia. /super-pack/. (CityLine)


The first studio album by 5 Vymir is like a rough mixture of the psychedelia of the 70s and the Brit pop of the 90s, inspired by our local dreamlike lifestyle, but flavored with a green, bouncy charge of sound (and it's not about sounding) insolence. It turns out to be very atmospheric..
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

The Elephants. Colors. /premium, eco-pack/.


Brevity, clarity of lines, softness of accents – sometimes even on the edge of being toylike. Transparent, like light shade. Add a bit of a bare nerve – and this would be "disruption" music, but for the time being The Elephants offer indie-pop-tronic with elements of fabulousness. And they do it so that one wants to believe it.
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Vivienne Mort. Rosa. (EP). /mini-pack/.


..this music it saturated with some pristine but conscious magic. Vivienne Mort do not force themselves to release long-plays – but you would never say that their releases are unfinished, incomplete. On the contrary – these are really holistic, non-accidental expressions. Concise, yes – but is it a vice?
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Serhiy Babkin. #neubyvai. /digi-pack/. (#donotkill)


It's nice when a musician has something to say. The value of what is said is not determined by its amount, of course, but more than 70 minutes of high-quality music – that's still good. And Babkin produces quality – both in his music, in lyrics.
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Pianoboy. Take Off. /premium edition, digi-pack/.


..intertwining love for the music of the 1960-70s, and the ability to speak modern, at the intersection of styles. With the taste for styling tricks – to speak one's own language. Actually, Pianoboy manages to combine in one bottle magnitude – and seclusion, intimacy.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

YouCrane. Again. /digi-pack/.


The second album by YouCrane clearly shows that the band has found its own voice, and that this voice is easy distinguished from the crowd. A certain very nice mix of romance with a touch of the 1980s, latent lo-fi-aesthetics, healthy carelessness in intonations – all of those create a new fairy tale atmosphere..
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

YouCrane. Koly my budem znajomi. /digi-pack/. (When We are Acquainted)


At first glance – YouCrane just perform quality pop-rock with a variety of electronic admixtures. But, as known, the devil is in detail – to which the band definitely pays a lot of attention. Therefore, that results in a rather peculiar and interesting atmosphere, in which the positive charge does not block the sun for indie moods.
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

Serhiy Babkin. Sergevna. /digi-pack/.


A powerful work – as expected. In terms of the music – colorful, with interesting arrangements, careful consideration of each track. No "pass-through" pieces – one can hear that. Voluminous, "visual" music – it feels like you can touch it with your fingertips, taste, and inhale its aroma...
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

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


Pay attention at the title of the album – it displays its content and its essence very well. The composition of the album and every of its songs, as well as their forms and content, strive to logical harmonicity, adjustedness of every musical move, every note.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

DOK. DVA. /digi-pack/.


"Brutal pop power" – so they call it. But there is a great temptation to also add other words: post-rock plus acoustic acid jazz with trip hop education – something like this, probably. However, all these names do not contradict each other – because music like this as it is means going beyond the limits of specific style...
Domestic price: 256.20UAH, International price: $18.30USD

Viy. Yshov ja nebom. /digi-pack/. (I Was Walking in the Sky)


...these musicians have always preferred travels deep inside. This time as well – if one wishes, he/she can discern in the fresh songs by the group political pamphlets and just a poignant evaluation of our historical nowadays. And if one does not – it is quite possible to let it go, because their symbolism is obviously deeper than the waves of our routine..
Domestic price: 298.20UAH, International price: $21.30USD

Dymna Sumish. V krajini iljuziy. /digi-pack/. (In the Country of Illusions)


How many people, having first heard the songs "In the Country of Illusions" and "No", decided that they should certainly buy-listen to the new disc by Dymna Sumish? I think, more than one thousand. How many of them will be disappointed having bought-listened to this disc? I think, none – Dymna Sumish, sure, is one of the most interesting groups on the Ukrainian independent scene.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Johnny Bardo. Basket Case. /digi-pack/


Johnny Bardo is a solo project, a sort of an alter ego of Louis Franck, the leader of Esthetic Education. A bright, interesting project – no doubt. You should listen to one or two tracks only to make sure: everything is made in a talented, delicious, high-quality way. The project found its realization after Louis' return from a trip to India..
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Esthetic Education. Face Reading. /digi-pack/


The cultivation of taste must simply be carried out - it must continue, and it must be carried out not in a separate point of space or in the framework of a certain musical style or trend.
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Solomia Chubay. POETY. /polygraphy in English, premium, CD+book/.


In this version of the release, all the lyrics in the book are presented translated into English. \ POETY is a strong and sound, but at the same time – multi-layered project by Solomiya Chubay. It is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of her father – and it is a testimony to poetry, which happened not only due to, but also despite of. And that knows how to be different. Alive.
Domestic price: 376.60UAH, International price: $26.90USD

Plach Yeremiji. Ya pidu v daleki hory. /cassette/.


Audio cassette/ ..This album has only five songs, but... Whether we have so much vital inspiration to glance in eyes of truthful love?
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Plach Yeremiji. Dobre. /cassette/. (Good)


Audio cassette/ ..Compilation of the best songs of legendary rock group from Lviv.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Victor Morozov, Chetvertyy kut. Armija Svitla. (Army of Light)


...the album again suggests the idea that the war for independence of Ukraine that started dozens of years ago – lasts till now. And now even more than ever before it is opposition of identities – because external, political and geographic independence is worth nothing unless it is founded on internal freedom. To quote the song – "...to be oneself and to be proud".
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Plach Yeremiji, Taras Chubay. Svitlo i spovid'. (Light and Confession)


"Light and confession" – this is aspiration for renewal of feedback between me and my Father, between present generation and the generation of 1970-s", Taras Chubaj exposes the sacral content of the album.
Domestic price: 494.20UAH, International price: $35.30USD
