Svitlana Nianio & Oleksandr Yurchenko – Znayesh Yak? Rozkazhy LP

Originally released on cassette in 1996; Kiev Underground musicians Svitlana Nianio and Oleksandr Yurchenko combine Casio keyboard, hammered dulcimer, percussion, and Nianio’s unmistakeable soprano vocalisations to create beautifully haunting, jazzy abstract folk music sympathetic to the specific locations in which they chose to record. Debut release outside of Ukraine – limited to 300 copies.

“‘Znayesh Yak? Rozkazhy’ is a dream spun in twilight, a crystalline, private world where the listener feels both alien and welcome..”
