Boombox. Seredniy vik. /digi-pack/. (Middle Age)
The new album by Boombox is another very significant reason to mention the year 2011 as one of the most yielding years for the non-ordinary Ukrainian popular music. No doubt – despite the title, "Middle Age", no crisis is in question here. On the contrary. If you were missing something in the previous works by the band – now there is enough of everything: drive, imagination, diversity, groove, warmth, irony – freedom... everything. It's not even that some of these things were previously not found there. They were – but now all of this is combined in such a powerful balance that the album resembles a keg of dynamite when the wick is already set on fire: it will definitely explode but it only depends on you, whether it tears you into pieces, or you fly up somewhere where even birds will be impressed... This kind of angry joy – the bridges have been burned, and not only behind but also ahead. Therefore, one moves further on foot or by water, or goodbye, mom, sorry if that was not enough... I hope it will be continued – Andriy Khlyvnyuk has during the recent years revealed himself so vividly that one unwittingly believes: this guy, if he wishes, will not only stand by, but will also be a step ahead...
Anton Yozhyk Leyba
Note! This album is also released as a vinyl LP.

Dakh Daughters. Make Up. /digi-pack/.


..Dakh Daughters have taken a step forward, being able to synthesize their previous experience – here the sharpness of the first album and the balance of the second one have come together, and as a result we have got a rich space of mystery and confession..

Dakh Daughters. If. /digi-pack/.


..a studio album is a different story, it offers an opportunity to hear, not to see: music balancing on the brink of theater. Due to the art of intonation, which sometimes reaches its extreme and takes a step further – but also due to the art of silence, which only rarely acts as a pause, taking a breath, but mostly it keeps producing supplementary senses.

LBB. Lemko Bluegrass Band. /digi-pack/.


An album that's a joke, a discovery, a surprise, a challenge – combining the folk music of the Carpathians with the North American folk. LBB have danced that subtly but stoutly: monologues about dialogues of cultures are not really needed when you have such illustrations at hand..
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

DakhaBrakha. Shlyakh. /premium, digi-pack/. (The Road)


This album was ready in the autumn of 2016 – but the musicians were in doubt, as a result they literally re-created it from scratch (the sound producer was Yuryi Hustochka). And it turned out – superb, literally. Fragile like the frosty crust on morning snow, thick and fragrant like masala – an album of hope, an album of surprise. Steppe blues..

Jamala. All Or Nothing. /digi-pack/.


..It feels like listening to two albums simultaneously, one of which contains a colorful, complex mixture of styles, from soul and disco to electro-pop, with a bright admixture of classical training and jazz thinking. And the second one – blues, in all of its beautiful simplicity...

Shopping Hour. Sunce Viter. (+bonus). /digi-pack/. (The Sun Wind)


Music contents of this release do not differ from the premium edition (apart from a hidden surprise track). Differences relate only to the external design – besides, there is no booklet with the lyrics here. Hence the lower price of this edition compared to the premium one.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Shopping Hour. Amor. /digi-pack/.


This album is a phenomenon in the modern Ukrainian music. Here we have, first, interpretation of the European classics in the Latin American vein, which they definitely have not tried here so far. And, second – not only the music, but also the vocal manner has been reconsidered. Radically..

Jamala. For Every Heart: Live at Arena Concert Plaza. (CD+DVD). /digi-pack/.


The concert performance – it is different, and not only due to presence of a new song. The sound, nuances of arrangements, team of musicians – but, above all – the energy. And this is the case when, even while just listening to the recording, you experience a kind of happening – not least due to Jamala's affection for gospel.
Domestic price: 488.60UAH, International price: $34.90USD

Jamala. For Every Heart. /digi-pack/


Jamala – and the debut album illustrates this very nicely – creates light music in the best Western tradition. And not just coolly – at a high quality level. Her love for soul, funk, jazz, burlesque and even classical music – it's all here, in this music so many things are mixed that you cannot guess everything at once...
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

DakhaBrakha. Light. /digi-pack/.


...the content of the album in the style aspect is ambiguous – but, definitely, interesting. This time to their branded ethno-chaos they have added quite a bit of very diverse elements: here you have soul, and D'n'B, and hip-hop, and art-rock, and almost jazz decorations. It appears cool.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Shopping Hour. Sunce Viter. (premium edition). /digi-pack/. (The Sun Wind)


Is the studio version different from the concert one? No doubt. Without disclosing all secrets, it is enough to say that it remains up to date to go beyond one language and one culture. In my opinion, the album represents the Ukrainian music, but the music which is done by the new generation. It is the product of the new world. The entire world.

Tanya Sha, Svet. Ten Step Journey.


Fortunately, sometimes you run across the albums about which it is very difficult to say anything – because you just frankly like them. Because, in spite of external simplicity, they contain so many ideas, various subtleties – one's ears just go astray..) Because the music tells you stories without words, while the words tell you stories full to the brims with music..

Anniebri. Lo-Fi Feeling.


It would seem – just vocal and the piano. But this only verbally looks rather ascetic – in actual fact, a surprisingly powerful emotional current lives inside there. Actually, the way the voice and the piano sound – makes Hanna Brizhata, aka Anniebri, a truly unordinary phenomenon on our scene. Honestly speaking, I can hardly think about a single Ukrainian album resembling "Lo-Fi Feeling"...
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. Vnochi. /digi-pack/. (At Night)


In spite of that “At Night” compositions do not meet the pop-format, the album is aimed at mass audience. The name, voice and the specific, characteristic of only Svyatoslav Vakarchuk melodics of the compositions will help fans of Ukrainian music become acquainted with new music forms, to seize new music territories.

Tanok Na Maydani Kongo, Skhid-Side. Jazzy. Live.


...the songs, which are well-known to us, are performed in a jazz manner, and people say that Skhid-Side ("East-Side") is in fact one of the best jazz bands of Ukraine... Especially because in this particular case it is not only jazz, but also TNMKongo - this mixture turns out to be strikingly successful...

LoTus, Rosava. LoTus feat. Rosava.


As a rule the idea of heroic nature has never even crossed the minds of the heroic figures. Moreover they can even get frightened if one alludes to this. But still they continue doing their work. Just because it is their... It’s no use in objecting to the fact that real musicians, the same as the real music, begin with an ability to listen carefully. To listen and to hear.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Krapka. Zhyvyj. (Alive)


The debut album by Krapka sounds very rich, vibrant, inventive – convincing. The three keys are used: hip-hop – in relation to the lyrics, rock, and ethics (and not only Ukrainian) – in relation to the music. And even the term "world music" will not say it all – although it is quite close to the point.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Krapka. Khrestyky y nuli. /digi-pack/. (Noughts and Crosses)


...the guys combine seemingly incongruous stuff. The second album by the band turns out as a "salad" where the team aspires to demonstrate the entire range of their music's versatility. In addition to the ethno-hop traditional for "Krapka", in their songs the guys focus on such styles as trip-hop, sweet-jazz, and even boogie.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Rolliks. Peretvorysya na zbroyu. /digi-pack/. (Turn Into Weapons)


The new album by Rolliks is not for those inclined to a moderate outlook. From the very beginning, the group's songs stood out due to their evident uncompromising nature – and in the new album this evident fact has not disappeared.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Flyza. Zasmaha na sertse. (Tan on the Heart)


The new work sounds more weighted, carefully thought through, expressed. It sounds as though the smile is still for all the 32 teeth, but some knowledge that adds a faint note of sadness to laughter has started shining in the eye... Well, we'll see. Not everyone manages, having accumulated knowledge and wisdom, to look at the world with optimism – but Flyzzza still does have such chances.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Gutsul Calipso. Reket-Hanhstera. (Racket-Gangsters)


Gutsul Kalipso play music that they personally name "Guzul-hop" and sometimes define it as a mixture of Bukovyna folklore, hip-hop and jazz. Judging by everything, the All-Mighty Jah has not gone round creative searches of these smiling fighters with his favorable attention either – as a result, a very fanciful but also no less positive music freak has seen the light of the day.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Haplyk. Shvydka muzychna dopomoha. (Music First-Aid)


Haplyk is just a couple of fellows, but their hip-hop creates the impression as if a few more engines were hidden behind the scene. At least, they have enough energy both for a club, and for a large audience.
