The fifth album by Blooms Corda features 11 tracks recorded in a home studio over the course of 2023–2024. The main theme of the release is time in its various manifestations
In addition to the new tracks, the LP contains two previously released singles, ‘Pisnia pro viinu’ and ‘Dania u klitsi zi spohadamy’.
According to band leader Danylo Galyko, Blooms Corda try to change their approach to sound from release to release: ‘The new album is not similar to the previous ones in terms of mood, and its songs contrast each other. It has both quiet and acoustic songs, and songs that are full of percussion, bass and brass parts’.
The band also changes the accent color of each album. The main color of the LP ‘Monodance’ (2015) is red, the color of ‘GIGOTOSIA’ (2016) is green, the color of ‘Fog Lavender’ (2018) is lilac, and the color of ‘Naidorozhchi rechi u sviti’ (2022) is yellow. The color of ‘Doshch ide, ale sontse svityt’ is blue.
Danylo thinks their choice of theme for the new release was influenced by the war and the fact that it ‘sharpened perceptions and attitudes towards time’.
‘The album features time-travel songs, characters who can change time, and reflections on the past, future and present, and it also has some sped-up or slowed-down compositions’, the author describes the release.
