BRAII — Moth, Not a Butterfly (2020)

Post-punk band BRAII interrupted its own silence by announcing their second EP release at the end of the year. "Moth, Not a Butterfly" gets the band back to what they started with.

Premiere. La Horsa Bianca — Diluvian Beat (2020)

Today, together with the portal It's Psychedelic Baby, we present the third full-length album of the Kharkiv psychedelic band La Horsa Bianca"Diluvian Beat", which confidently holds the bar set by previous LPs. We have already listened to the release and are ready to share our impressions of it. 

Sasha Boole — Too old to sell my soul (2020)

Sasha Boole's fourth full-length album was released today. We'll tell you how it differs from the previous one and why you should not postpone listening to it. 

Cthulhu Rise — Last (2020)

Cthulhu Rise publicized their "Last" EP release on the 24th of January on the collective’s Facebook page, adding description of mini album’s sound and place in their work – it appeares to be their swan song. The band itself stopped its activity a few years ago, so the numbered opuses of this release are nothing else but old material compilation.

Braii — Lovely Dark Things (2019)

You do remember them and will follow their steps this time as you did follow their guitars last spring. New stories grew into the new compositions, and only the darkness remained the same. Guided by somber riffs, it swamping the vinic-cynic heroes and the girl who wasn’t there into its depths.

Volver Stone — Silver Light (2019)

Each human wants some warmness for himself while this musician wants it for others. Total mutual understanding between acoustics and Volver Stone makes this desire feasible, letting his songs go further usual audible perception.

La Horsa Bianca — Somatic Schematic (2018)

Such music demands to be listened in high settings to be sure I’m not missing any single note, any single pause from this generous hand holding the strings, making the keyboards sound like sometime ago, shaking the tambourine with its alluring (& appealing) "tri-ki-ti". From the very first track of this collective what is pictured on "Somatic Schematic" cover stops to "seem" and becomes real.

Bichkraft — 800 (2018)

Beat and sing it out, play it the way to erase borderlines of continents and ages, joy and sorrow. Give the youth power over what comes out onto paper, what gets free from speaker grid, throat, recording studio, Ukraine, New York, from everywhere, even from your rebellious hearts.

Braii — City of Nothing (2018)

Would you follow the moody storytelling of Kyiv gothness, dare you to visit the City of Nothing, leaving your own, very alike one? Because all the lyrics, as Oksana Bryzgalova says, are truthful, based on the life all of us live.
