Тінь Сонця - Танець Серця

Review by Michael Stebel

Танець Серця by Тінь Сонця: A Ukrainian Folk Rock Gem That'll Tickle Your Ears Alright, buckle up, music nerds. We’re diving into Танець Серця (Dance of the Heart), the 2011 album from Ukraine’s own Тінь Сонця (Shadow of the Sun). This isn’t your run-of-the-mill rock record—it’s folk rock with a twist, like borscht meets electric guitar. And yeah, it’s kinda awesome. Let’s start with the vibe. The band’s got this earthy-meets-electric thing going on. Acoustic strumming? Check. Keyboards that sound like they were stolen from an '80s synth-pop band? Double check. It’s all tied together by vocals that range from hauntingly beautiful to “whoa, is that guy singing or just yelling at his cat?” Spoiler alert: both work here. Now, onto the tracks. You’ve got 15 songs to chew on, but let me zoom in on two standouts because ain’t nobody got time for a track-by-track novel. First up, “Місяцю Мій”—or as I call it, “Moon Vibes Deluxe.” This one pops up multiple times on the album, including a radio edit and what sounds like someone whispering sweet nothings to the moon through a megaphone. Наталя Данюк takes the mic here, and her voice is smoother than borscht on a winter night. The acoustic guitar from Сергій Василюк adds this dreamy layer, like you’re floating down the Dnipro River at sunset. But don’t get too comfy—the keyboard kicks in midway, reminding you this ain’t just some sleepy lullaby. It’s got teeth, folks. Teeth and soul. Then there’s “Золотослов”, which roughly translates to something about golden words or being fancy AF. This tune hits different—not just because Іван Лузан kills it on vocals, but also because the whole thing feels like a folk tale set to music. Imagine sitting around a campfire while someone tells you a story about ancient warriors, cursed forests, and maybe a dash of romance. Oh, and props to Андрій Хаврук for making the guitar wail like it's auditioning for a Tarantino movie. By the end, you’ll either want to grab a sword and fight dragons or sit quietly and cry. Either way, mission accomplished. What makes Танець Серця stick is how raw it feels. These aren’t polished pop anthems; they’re gritty, heartfelt jams that remind you music doesn’t need autotune to hit hard. Plus, the credits read like a family reunion—everyone wears multiple hats, switching between guitars, keys, and vocals like it’s no big deal. Shoutout to Сергій Василюк for pulling triple duty without breaking a sweat. So, would I recommend this album? Absolutely. It’s not perfect—some tracks drag a bit, and you might need Google Translate handy—but it’s real. Like, “grab a pint and spill your soul” real. Listening to it feels like finding an old vinyl in your grandma’s attic: dusty, unexpected, and oddly satisfying. Final thought? If this album was a person, it’d be that cool uncle who shows up unannounced, plays guitar till 3 AM, and leaves behind a bottle of horilka and a cryptic life lesson. Cheers to Тінь Сонця for keeping folk rock weird—and wonderful.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Танець Серця* by the Ukrainian band *Тінь Сонця* is a hidden gem in the folk rock scene. Released in 2011, it blends heartfelt lyrics with rich acoustic guitar and keyboard melodies. What’s fascinating is how the same song, *"Місяцю Мій,"* appears three times on the album—once as a full version, once as a radio edit, and again in a slightly different form. It’s like they wanted to explore every angle of that track. Plus, the mix of musicians, like Сергій Василюк on acoustic guitar and Наталя Данюк’s vocals, adds layers of depth you don’t hear every day. Definitely worth a listen if you’re into music with soul.
