Rura. Moja ljubov. (My Love)

Extremely fast, really – it seems that there are yet no analogues to such speed on the Ukrainian scene. Just a few months have passed from the moment when Rura released her debut album – and here we already have the second album, and active work on the third album is in process. Surprising, but also nice capacity – isn't it? Besides, Rura – probably, that is already an original tradition, – is further assisted by other, not less interesting groups. While the envelope of the previous album contained acknowledgements to musicians of Perkalaba, this time – we find on the envelope gratitude to musicians of the group Pan Pupec. Tell me who your friends are – and everything will become clear. Even for those who for some reason have not heard the first album. And if even then you'll still have questions, let's paraphrase: this is a sort of cheerful urban folk-punk, in which ska smacks are sometimes found. This time there is virtually no reggae, and the general frivolousness of mood has tranfromed a bit. It's not that it has become heavier – but now there is more banter, and it has become more outright. Actually, it is what makes it possible to determine the style of the album as a merry but still variety of punk. For example, the song "Ogura" is just a masterpiece, and you can do nothing to it. At the same time, such things as, for example, "Paskhalna" – set quite a different, lyric and good-natured tone. That is why the general impression is ambiguous. But – it is no doubt interesting.
