MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So, indeed, it has been quite a journey to the completion of the second record since the début album ‘Ha Numa’ was released. In between there were 4 singles and many gigs, including touring with the documentary film about my band, ‘The Nonsense Express’ by Robert Dumas, 'The Highly Skilled Migrants' adventures in Russia and Belarus and, finally, a lot of wonderful people and musicians I have met and worked with!

Now, I am very delighted to make an announcement that my FORTHCOMING ALBUM will be released in February 2015!

I would like to thank all of the highly skilled musicians who took part in working on my new album. They are Nathan Fustec (co-production, mixing, recording, guitars, backing vocals, drum machines, synths), Dave Maric (keyboards, samples, electronic drums and percussion, recording), Ned Crowther (bass guitar, backing vocals, synths, arrangements), Elo Masing (string arrangements, violin), Phil Brunner (drums and percussion), Mak Murtić (saxophone), Rochelle Anne Swanson (backing vocals), Maja Rivić (backing vocals), Sophie Charlotte Ramsay (backing vocals), Marina Nikitina (backing vocals), Dan McKean (lap steel guitar, recording), Nick Jonah Davis (lead acoustic guitars, recording), Benedict Taylor (viola), Jasmine Scott Neale (cello), Rosie Turton (trombone), Paul Woodson (electric guitar), Orchestre Du Mont-Plaisant (arrangements, guitars, keyboards, drum machine), Gábor Halász (accordion, recording, mixing), Martin Merenyi (recording), Joel Stewart (singing saw, recording), Maria-Christina Harper (harp).


I look forward to the album launch and playing more shows in 2015!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!


Best wishes,
Sasha Ilyukevich

'MIO MOI' New Single!

Recorded and mixed in a day at the East London studio of Gabriel Prokofiev, Sasha Ilyukevich has worked with musician/arranger Ned Crowther and sound engineer Gabor Halasz to deliver this wistful springtime ballad, 'Mio Moi'.

The composition, full of longing and reflection, is Ilyukevich's first English language offering, combining pastoral musings with a tender declaration of love in this dreamy and ethereal contemplation.

Sasha Ilyukevich - Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Percussion
Ned Crowther – Backing Vocals, Bass Guitar, Synths, Percussion

 
 
 
Recorded by Gabor Halasz at Gabriel Prokofiev's Studio, London, 2014
