Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
It is the beginning and the source of life, the beauty of the unknown yet to unfold as we look to Eve to measure our love, and yet we soon allow this passion of the foundation of creation to be usurped by the gods of war, tin men with tin hearts, to employ the means of destruction.
If only we could look deep within ourselves are dispense with the means of ruin, the masculine want, and replace it with the magic to be found in the feminine, the life givers, the Eve’s to whom war and devastation run scared from; for in the potency of creation stands firm the belief that the future depends…not the wars of ambush that lead to insecurity, that lead to famine of the mind, that lead to the death of the human soul.
Potency in creation is Eve given form, and in the new four track E.P. by Daria Kulesh, the ceremonial use of music, form and word, create their own belief of headlong danger, of taking the threat circling the world head on, and this Eve is the mother, the pulse of reason, the protector, in all her glory.
The four tracks Cossack Lullaby, Masters Of War, Lully Lullay, and Ukrainian Lullaby impress upon the listener the voice of woman, not just the face or the heart, but the deep down raw courage that women all over have to unleash when faced with an aggressor who only wants fear, and in a time of outright terror unleashed, when sabres are itching to be unleashed, this representation of Eve is of out and out courage, is beautiful, it is peace willing to be grasped.
A terrifically produced E.P., full of direction, strength, a woman’s heart that is not afraid to be heard; this is how we should envisage Eve, not as taken from a rib, but born in her image and full of song.
Daria Kulesh releases Eve on January 6th
