I wrote this track a couple of days before the Russian large-scale invasion of Ukraine. An hour before all major cities of my country were bombed for the first time I was preparing new music to meet the spring with. Instead, I’ve met the horrible emergency. I’ve learned not to panic in vain, I’ve adapted to sirens and curfew, to a constant need to help others – to wartime. 

The title was supposed to be а self-fulfilling prophecy for me. I am chasing love. Instead, it is hatred for the occupiers that helps me to deal with the new reality today. This and also, pity and disgust for russia. I guess, these feelings will never change, but I want something else. Will my peaceful life ever be back here?

There’s a new trend in Instagram now, which makes Ukrainians «post a random photo before the war». These tiny documents of peaceful times may seem nostalgic because our lives did really change dramatically. But as soon as we refuse to give up on our lost peace, the regretful feeling becomes overshadowed by the will to win. I want this track to be such a document – both nostalgic in the moment and hopeful for the next life, an image of a peaceful world before and after the war.

All the income will be donated to the very local Kyiv volunteers I’m currently working with. 

Also, here's the music video I made at the same time, mixing my personal archive with some Youtube content: https://youtu.be/G-x37mjYt38 

I guess, after months of infowar I felt the damage to come. Sure, it’s ridiculous how I’ve chosen footage of such simulated destruction in other countries considering how russian missiles ruined Ukrainian cities for real. But I prefer to leave this clip as it is. Video pieces of evidence of russian war crimes are made for the trial, not for music.

love filled eyes

For our latest podcast, Alien Body – a new duo of Ukrainian artists Bohdan Konakov and Alina Gelzina – dive into deconstructed sounds which they describe as trance punk. Alien Body will perform at Ephemera Festival in Warsaw on 18th June.
A message from Alien Body: 
"We are living in 2022, and it is so insane to see the Russian war in Ukraine. The aggressor must be stopped immediately. There's no place for violence, rapes and annihilation in our world. We hope that humanity will unite and choose the right path, because we have many more terrible problems with our planet that need to be solved. Stop the war and save our planet, please!"

1 hour of ukrainian music for december
strange collage, mixture of excitement to warm up and deep melancholy of the winter 
one of my favorite artist Andriy Kuzmenko said "Сльози замерзають, бо зима, то зима" (Tears freeze, because winter is winter)
