Mertvyj Piven', Yuri Andrukhovych. Kryminal‘ni sonety. (Criminal Sonnets)

It is nice to see that Mertvy Piven and Yuri Andruhovych continue their joint experiments in synthesis of the not quite usual poetry and the not quite conformist music. It is not less cool – to see that the experiment does not freeze in the once discovered form but adjusts to some new embodiments. This time, for example – we can see appearance of something that, it seems, has never before happened in the space of modern Ukrainian music. It is difficult and even virtually impossible to call "Criminal Sonnets" a reaction to such phenomenon as modern Russian chanson (or simpler – the rogue song). It is not just more elevated, it is – even better – different. Refined and simple, grotesque and life-like at the same time – Andruhovych did manage to play in his role. And – to create a small but very convincing cycle of poems marginal in their theme, but banter and philosophical in their content. In the album, he narrates these short bright stories – with words. And Myhaylo Barbara, in his turn, narrates these stories – with his voice, intonation, tone, pauses... Narrates – that is, sings – so brightly, vividly, that first one does not even hear the words (it is good that a minute before their were read by Andruhovych). Actually, due to music arrangement – and, above all, due to Barbara's vocal – not just songs but music frescos appear in front of the surprised ear of the audience. That is, deep and clear voice paints laid on the fresh plaster of words transparent in their exactness. And ears quickly open due to such presents, relax – and absorb all that to its full...

Yuri Andrukhovych, Mertvyj Piven'. Made in YuA.


"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. "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..

Yuri Andrukhovych, Karbido. Samohon. (special Ukrainian release).


Finally, we have it – the Ukrainian release of the joint album by Yuri Andruhovych and the researchers into psycho-music from Karbido group saw the light of the day. A strange mixture of ethno-jazz, dub, avant-garde rock and ironically sarcastic melodic recitals – no, this list of ingredients, in actual fact, explains nothing. One should listen to it – and this, at least, should once be heard. Better – more than once.

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".

Plach Yeremiji. Dobre. (The best of...)


Plach Yeremiji songs are usually serious, philosophic poems accompaniment by rock-group. Music in the songs sounds hard, then changes to a easy ballads and again explodes, overfilled by emotions. All this is a specific "Lviv's" colouring.

Chetvertyy kut, Victor Morozov. Treba vstaty i vyjty. (Stand up and leave)

Mertvyj Piven'. Pisni Mertvoho Pivnja.


If I am not mistaken, Luis Armstrong has told, that he could sing even the phone book. "The Dead Cock" has expressed in the same way after record of this album. And you know what? They really could. Nevertheless, it is good that they didn't.

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.
