The 'Light' studio album — DakhaBrakha's first international breakthrough — receives a remastered anniversary edition with 4 previously unreleased tracks.
Marking the 15th anniversary of the 'Light' (2010) studio album release, DakhaBrakha will release a remastered anniversary edition — 'Light: 15th Anniversary Remastered Edition.' Release is scheduled for 2 August 2026 on the AlexisRecords (Kyiv) label. The original 2010 album included 14 tracks and became the band's first international breakthrough — featured on NPR playlists, BBC Radio 3, and nominated for the Songlines Award (Best Newcomer 2011). The anniversary version adds 4 previously unreleased tracks from the 2009-2010 studio sessions: 'Zozulen'ka (alternative take),' 'Pereval,' 'Zaspiv,' and 'Svitanok-2.' Mastering was done by Los Angeles sound engineer Bernie Grundman — the same engineer who remastered the catalogues of Kravens, Scorsese, and Bjork. A separate 60-page companion book will be released, telling the story of the album's creation, with photos from the 2009 studio process (most never before published), as well as illustrated notes from each of the four band members. The book is a joint work of the band with the art-publishing house 'Osnovy.' A limited tape-edition of 500 copies will be distributed via Bandcamp Direct.
