Kryhitka Cahes. Na pershomu mistsi. (On the First Place)

This group has appeared at the stage not long ago, so this is their first album. Still, the other day one of my old acquaintances who has never shown any interest in modern music suddenly started to ask me exactly about "Kryhitka Cahes". Actually, I seem to know where this interest comes from. You know, this music has several vectors of movement. Let’s dwell on two of them and start with the second one. While listening to this music, you have the impression as if it takes you inwards into its own inner space. It takes you into the space where a clear sound of a guitar is flowing, a violoncello is singing and a pliable melody of a girl’s voice is floating. It is exactly in this direction – inwards - that the lyrics reveal themselves, because this is an urban, but still a feminine poetry, and the light that is too much bright is superfluous here. In such a case we have an indirect, that is reverse, movement inside, into something, which is soft and transparent. As the same time reverse movement is impossible without aversion, that’s why let’s go back to the first, that is external impression. In it there’s a tense and heavy guitar, sketches, scratches and beads, as well as broken rhythms, and above all that there’s a strong woman’s voice with steel notes. As a result, we have more or less aggressive aversion that at once attracts attention. At the same time, not only back-forward movement is present here, still, why should I tell you about all these things?
