Join us at Sound & Vision for a release party celebrating the first comprehensive collection of its kind, Even the Forest Hums: Ukrainian Sonic Archives 1971-1996. This collection explores the flourishing Ukrainian music scene of the late 20th century—much of which was recorded under strict Soviet control.

Featuring historical liner notes by Kyiv-based writer and filmmaker Vitalii “Bard” Bardetskyi.

Carefully curated by David Mas “DBGO,” Mark “Frosty” McNeill, and Matt Sullivan in collaboration with Ukrainian label Shukai Records with full support from each artist.

Features artwork by Ukrainian folk art painter Maria Prymachenko.

Audio remastered by GRAMMY®-nominated engineer John Baldwin.

Art Direction & Design by Darryl Norsen at D.Norsen Design.

A portion of proceeds will be donated to Livyj Bereh, a Kyiv-based volunteer group working to rebuild in the regions affected by ongoing war in Ukraine.

Available October 18, 2024 on 2xLP (Standard Black Wax and Clear Sky Blue & Sunflower Yellow wax), CD + 64-page hardbound book, & digital
