VGmates is a Slavic-Australian group in composition, and perhaps this is what motivates them to combine elements of various influences and styles in their music. Musically, the album 'Черным по белому || In Black and White' has alternative rock and electronica, folk and art rock.  

An interesting mix of musical forms creates a fantastic color and aesthetics. In addition to electronica and rock elements, this music is filled with acoustic instruments such as the Irish tin whistle, duduk, and shakuhachi, which in turn adds exoticism and flavor to this release. 

VGmates have songs in both English and Russian in their repertoire. Their album features lyrics full of pain, surprise, and protest. The main idea of ​​the album is that after the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war, there are no more shades of gray, only black and white. And this black and white are two sides of a war where some are the aggressor and others are the victims. 

It cannot be otherwise, although many ignore it and do not delve into the essence of this global problem. Some close their eyes and continue to live their private lives until it affects them directly. One thing is certain, that if we do not speak and emphasize the horrors of Putin's government, then tomorrow the war will come to your home. It is this message that carries VGmates and their new album 'Черным по белому || In Black and White'.  

We highly recommend that you listen to the album 'Черным по белому || In Black and White' right now below on Spotify and embrace this important and deep thought that the concept of this release carries.
