After building up the intrigue and presentation of the two tracks “Quiet” and “#BOY”, the Ukrainian rock band BAHROMA presented the new, third album, “Plus Minus Equals”. The musical producer of the release was the keyboardist of the band “Ocean Elzy” Milos Jelic, with whom the guys had already collaborated at the dawn of their musical career, working on the single “For Long” in 2009. The disc has seven compositions, including two creative collaborations: with Zhenya Galich (frontman of O.Torvald) in the track “Sex-Drugs-Rock-n-Roll” and the non-standard experiment “#BOY” with the famous rapper Yarmakom, the video on which was presented last week. By tradition, the album was first made available for listening on the official page of the VKontakte group. “The work on recording the album lasted more than a year and finally we are ready to show it to the listener. Overall, I am very pleased with the result! "Plus Minus Equals" is full of contradictions, like all of us. The album has songs that are opposite in sound, from heavy rock to electronic. The track list is complemented by our collaboration with Yarmak “#BOY”, an interesting experiment, the results of which we will see in the future, ”- the leader of the group Roman Bakharev shares in the official press release the process of creating and filling the new album.

On November 21, Bahroma presented the new album “DOM”. He became the fourth in their studio longplay collection. The first songs from the release were written on a European tour a year ago. After returning from a trip, Bahroma rented a large house for the whole winter and there they began to work closely on new material.

“For me, a house is a place of power, something special, personal, hidden from prying eyes. There you do not need to lie and invent anything. That's what our songs are about, and therefore the album itself is called “DOM,” says Roma Bakharev, the band’s frontman.

Recording of the release took place at once in several studios: DYNAMIKA music, ISTOK studio, Lipkyzvukozapys.

The album includes ten completely different in mood and sound compositions. Roman himself singles out of them the songs “South”, “Quadrille” and “Marina”: “The most resonant song in terms of its semantic load is“ Marina ”. Our music is not a pop product, not everyone will appreciate it. However, the stage is one of those that charge the public. Her text is not in the eyebrow, but in the eye. She is very frank, straightforward, funny, with wild irony. It was on her that we decided to shoot a new clip ”

The ELLE Ukraine magazine in September 2009 called the group "the hope of domestic pop-rock" ^[2] . According to music critic Guru Ken , “the group has everything to become stars in Russia: a vocal, charismatic, unshaven frontman, hit melodic songs, an excellent rhythm section and a sense of ensemble play” ^[9] .

Commenting on the release of the debut album, music columnist Boris Barabanov noted: “Bahroma is absolutely“ our ”thing. A little Brainstorm , a little “ Ocean Elzy ”, a little “ Mummy Troll ”, but at the same time an individual intonation and a young spark. This combination of epigonism and drive in territories with a more developed music industry immediately leads the group on the covers of magazines such as NME . This should sound from every Russian-speaking iron. ” ^[10] .
