Arsen Mirzoyan. Nezruchni lizhka. /digi-pack/. (Inconvenient Beds) | | Track
Reviews (0) |

Two years ago, Arsen Mirzoyan-Baburka issued the debut disc "Buttons" – and it is really good that everything did not stop there. On the contrary – a significant step forward has been made. In particular, this applies to the music: against the straightness of the previous work, the album "Inconvenient Beds" sounds very different. As might have been expected, the drive has not disappeared, but the melodies have become more pronounced – and enriched with the colors of jazz, electronic and percussion decorations (the latter, by the way, are managed by Olexander Beregovsky). Very neat, appropriate – nothing superfluous. But as a result such a nice ambiguity was constellated – this can still be described with the word "rock", but it still will not be an exhaustive definition. Actually – it is a certain sign of growth, experience, and self-awareness. As for the lyrics – Arsen, being the author, has once again proved that he can see. Thus, in his songs irony, sadness, challenge, reflection – live and breathe freely, without strain. Such is life – not black and white. Even if sometimes it seems otherwise...

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk's third solo project is an expected change in tonlity, The Orangery builds up a space to approximate comfort. Approximate – because there are enough disturbing notes, but they do not set the key mood. Basically, it seems – it is about the desire to speak so quietly that one could get as close as possible..

..this is why the album has turned out very easily presented. With the unobtrusive simplicity that knows how to avoid primitivism. Due to this, the lyrics do not get lost in the arrangements – which also matters, because a lot of truly cool, and sometimes – already classical – poems were set to music here.

..One can simply enjoy the concise arrangements with colorful spices. Or one can discover in these melodies, intonations, and pauses styling on the verge of grotesque. Or – one can hear stories that it is impossible to tell in any other way than this. Sentimental and ironic. And ask: why?

..it is absence of didacticism in the lyrics and of any mention of magic, as opposed to the skill of noticing the details that make up the everyday life – but noticing in a way that the listener slightly shifts the "assembly point". The reality's magic is routine, this is what one can hear and feel here at full force.

This is music with its own identity. And it's not only about interesting arrangements – listen to the lyrics: this is not simulation of rural folklore, this is its urban rethinking, but not limited to the city. Somewhere there, a universal key to the roots reside...

An anniversary (10 years since the release) re-issue on CD of one of the most prominent Ukrainian rock albums. For the sake of this release, complete re-mastering of the material from the original master tapes was performed – and the original author design was restored.

It was planned that this disc would only be sold at concerts, but now "Freakish Power" can encounter us anywhere and anytime, and this is – incredibly good. Another fragrant brick for Podillya foundation... I sincerely advise you to cast away umbrellas and the rest of protection means – otherwise there is the risk of just failing to contain.

11 tracks, but they are somehow so saturated and diverse that it may seem there are twice more of them. First, there are both author's and folk texts there – and some author's ones really resemble folk songs, this is a compliment.. And second – within one album, actually, three manners and ways of performing are mixed: skilful "folk" singing, powerful ethno-rock and the "acoustics"..

I would not like to speak here in a lot of detail about the ability to combine the green with the hot, and the fretted with the tart – these specific features have acquired even more expressive outlines from the times of the debut disc. Propala Hramota boldly creates modern folklore – do not be too lazy to listen to the lyrics, this is a really important decoration of every song.

Here it is – real, serious, exact. You know, about such dicks one is both eager and reluctant to speak – they bend to one's soul with their curves so that words become almost superfluous. But it is also desirable to keep quiet about such things only eye-to-eye, in order to by all means share one's feeling, warmth, acceptance.

The group offers to us radiant, expressive pictures. They masterfully implement the style eclecticism in the music line – it became the background for poetry both varied and transparent. Moreover, the whole album is penetrated with kind humor.

Babkin manages to avoid profanity: his music had became lighter, but not primitive, the lyrics have become more concise – but have not slipped into nonsense (besides – for the first time! – all songs of the album are in Ukrainian), in the end, the scale of the artist has changed, which is perceived in the way it is presented.

The first thing that catches the eye is the musicians' regard to the pop rock aesthetics of the 1980's and the 2000's. It's not about copying as such – but this almost-retro flavor works as a properly selected spice: it helps to open up the base. Well, and the base is the ability to create good melodies and expressive arrangements..

..it seems that they are about that all of us once came out of water of the World Ocean. Our paths converge, diverge, interrupt, go on, intertwine – and sometimes it is love, while sometimes – confrontation. But always(!) there is something in common for all of us..

The new album by Antytila was released unexpectedly quickly – but the title "Sun" seems to imply that there was no need to wait, that the time came. Or – were the new songs so much burning inside that one had to release them as soon as possible? However, the cover of "People Like Ships" by Skryabin here may indicate at something quite different

On the one hand, there is a bunch of components in the musical canvas, and participation of jazz musicians, a children's choir, or a full-fledged brass section emphasize that – the arrangements turn out diverse. On the other – there is still the feeling as if you listen to an album sung just with the guitar. However, it is rather an advantage...

Green Grey decided not to abandon the combination of electronic music with rock aesthetics – though, now there is somehow more of the latter, so one can hardly attribute this music to the light one. The elements of dubstep and hardcore are far not the only ones in this puzzle...

"NedaremnO" tries to sound different. Not too "trimmed" – and it has its advantages, because lack of syrup makes the taste much more honest. There is some special drive – that young groups had in abundance 10 to 20 years ago, but which many of the current "novices" often lack.

...the sound appears really clear, light, and sometimes almost fragile. Actually, it is possible to compare – because, in addition to new songs, you'll find here several songs from the previous album "In You". This is not yet homely comfort – but this is not desperate thunder of large scenes either, definitely.

To say that Pianoboy has pleased us with his debut work – it means to say not enough. I do not know who has been expecting for what – though after Okean Elzy, Esthetic Education and Zemfira one could hardly seriously anticipate a failure? – but I suspect that the album will surpass most expectations

The main thing is that this music is not committed to a certain style, but rather to a certain brand, a quality of expression. So, if for the sake of this quality one needs to add some atypical colors – it happens in an easy and natural way. Such a cool simplicity. At the same time – it is a team play, in which no one pulls the blanket over himself.

The "Radioheaven" project is a good example of rock music created just for the love of the process, not for any mercenary considerations. Thus, there is no cheap epatage, adolescent humor and disregard for detail in the sounding. While there is a quest for their own path, self-respect and, at the same time, self-irony.

...the trademark self-irony is still there. To make sure – the first song from the album will be enough. Though, indeed, the rest of the songs also meet this sort of a definition: irony plus clownery. Need I say that both the first and second are not limited to smiles and jokes, subtle and not too subtle?

Maybe, it is just about some personal maturing of the musicians – and it, in its turn, is only reflected in the new songs? Maybe, so. Anyway, despite all external appearances, there is the desire to refer to the new album by Mandry as a blues one...

The Britalin really pleases both with the level of performance, and arrangements. The lyrics are not deprived of some sense either, and sometimes they are quite provocative – it is nice. And, moreover, there are two leading vocals at once – male and female – and that diversifies the sound and adds a certain semantic intrigue.

...A sort of an album of ballads. If you do not listen attentively – it seems very balanced. But when you are attentive – that is when the second bottom opens: it is an album of deep feelings, bright experiences and, at the same time, quiet reflections. Not speculations on a topic, but exactly – individual reflections.

..the impression is that Dilya has finally discovered and realized what he aspires to in actual fact. The impression is that "Fortissimo" is currently not only the best of his albums, but also one of the best pop-rock albums of the recent time in general. It resembles a picture drawn with wide strokes, skillfully and freely, with passion – but also a lot of attention to nuances.

..the group performs cheerful rock with admixtures of pop punk and the aftertaste of hippy aesthetics. And it appears, really, sunny and positive – even though humor is far not the key (although noticeable enough) constituent of the songs' lyrics. This, in the end, is nice – because there are now more and more groups that try to joke, while we hardly witness more jokes)

"Sertsevy Napad" is only five years old, and now you see the first official album by the group. But the guys decided not to wait long and to start from the middle – therefore, the disc is not simply an album, but a sort of a "the best" collection. That is what the title hints at, not without irony – "Golden $hits".

The very first sounds with which this disc starts inspire quite a stable association with rock music of the 1960s and 1980s – actually, a pleasant association. But – and this is also pleasant – the style palette of the album is varied and saturated enough. That is, this is rock, in which there is roll, and hard, and art, and atmospheric poetry and just poem...

This album was about to become the third work of the band 5'nizza – but unfortunately, while working at the album the musical concept was changed so much that the group broke up. Nevertheless, on the basis of it there appeared a new project the front man of which is Andriy “Sun” Zaporozhets. So the name of it derived from the leader's one.

Boombox is one of those groups, which have their own appearance from the very beginning. Therefore, they spend their time not to create some unique style, but to find new colours. And every time these colours get more and more intense – the proof is in front of your eyes.

His audience is growing if not with the speed of a lightning, then – incessantly. At that, in three directions simultaneously. One – the listeners who came to love his own songs. Second – the audience who keep track of his theatrical life (i.e. "Theater 19"). Third – readers who value interesting poetry.
