Regarding songs by Boombox, it has always been interesting to listen to the lyrics – among other things, due to their ironic ease, their disposition to (and the ability of) playfulness. But the further, the less verbal balancing they contain – but more poignant senses, refined formulas, comprehensive observations. The new (mini)album "Naked King" is a very vivid evidence of that: it seems that there is not a single superfluous, accidental word, including the references to VUZV and Akhmatova, for example. And even the coda – the song "Lyudy" (People) from the previous album – looks like a semantic summary, a conclusion based on everything mentioned in the previous five songs (which, in turn, transforms the optics of this song's perception as well – and the fact that it is performed in a somewhat different way only highlights this perception). And as a soft contrast to the semantic saturation – the music: it includes considerably more space, some inner freedom regarding nuances of sounding. Slightly jazz-like multi-style admixtures appear subtle, but textured – not as ornaments, but as means to develop the idea. Perhaps this is due to a certain impact of the new staff keyboardist of the group, Pavlo Lytvynenko, an experienced musician well-known for our jazz audience. However, Andriy Khlyvnyuk has tended to moving in this direction as well – but now this appears thorough enough. A powerful piece of work – definitely. The release contains a 36-page booklet with photos and lyrics (facsimile) of all the songs.

..this time they even manage without their signature prankish skits between tracks. Moreover, the symbolism of the number 7 is multi-layered – for example, it is a symbol of the unity of Heaven and Earth, the soul and the body. And if one perceives lyrics of the new album from this perspective – maybe, that could turn out a fairly good story of wandering and revelation..

The album sounds as if Sashko Polozhynsky has once again discovered his second breath. There is experience, there is comprehension and awareness – but there is also a vivid, direct response to the world around. And the key feature of the new work is virtually its sparkle, reckless and sober at the same time. Self-irony in action. Without significant illusions

"People" is a work small in size, but rich in content. From heavy teen romance – to some serious generalizations only possible when having gained experience. From quite intimate reflections – to civil pathos. And in terms of the sheer sound, it turns out – diverse.

Something is changing inside. The feeling is as if Andriy Khlyvnyuk submerges much deeper now, and peers much closer, and than suddenly opens up and appears probably even defenceless, vulnerable – and because of that, however strange that may be, stronger. Even if it is painful. And this movement is there.

Well, here it is, "S.P.A.M." – and it is worth having been waited for. In the deciphered form the name of the disc sounds in this way: "System of Programming an Alternative Mind". At least – this means that TNMKongo is really fed up with something.

...The updates are not so radical that it is impossible to recognize originals – but, on the other hand, the sound nature appears surprisingly diverse. Since a good deal of styles are mixed here, the key common feature of all the tracks is not a certain style but high energy value. Actually, it always happens with Tartak.

"Samosaboyzz", no doubt, has its individual face. Contradictory, ambiguous – but that is, in our opinion, exactly where the considerable potential is hidden: opened endings intrigue far greater, don't they?

...stories told without excessive pathos, without picturesque poses – our cities, our lives appear in them. Without moralizing, without pressure – and it is for this reason, however surprising, that you listen to it very attentively. And it intersects with your own ideas, with your own stories and other people’s fragments – and this album is no longer mono, but stereo.

"Tartak" is now, presumably, one of the most energetic Ukrainian projects – in the both senses. Both in musical one, because this semi-crazy fest of motion and rhythm started a few years ago and lasts until now, not losing its intensity. And – in the sense of recording.

...the original combination of rap, hip-hop and heavy-metal gives "De Shifer" the opportunity to even today not only keep pace with others, but also to be in the avant-garde of modern Ukrainian music.
