KYUB: this war

Album Info

Release Date: 2023-06-01

Label: Pincet

At a time when the international electronic scene has already almost completely recovered from the coronavirus pandemic, Ukraine has been overtaken by another, much more terrible threat. The Russo-Ukrainian war affected Ukrainian musicians differently, but it definitely did not pass anyone by. Similarly, the participants of the KYUB residency reflect on the war experience in different ways. Someone was turned to self-reflection by the terrible events of the past year, someone began to notice strange things in the new war state of everyday life, and someone started imagining the future after the end of the war.

How does wartime routine sound? What to do with the inevitable realization of a new reality? How to get used to constant separation from close people? How to get used to the curfew and other restrictions of military time? How to deal with the occupation of your home? Why can't people leave their houses even in a war zone? How to save strength for resistance? How long will the war last, this «9-year-stretched resonance», during which all the cells in our bodies have already renewed themselves, and new generations have grown up in the occupied territories? What will the Ukrainian victory parade look like? What will happen to the terrorist state after the Ukrainian victory? All these questions are raised in this album.

All the funds from the album will be transferred to the Musicians Defend Ukraine Foundation.
