“Zemlya” is the eights album of Okean Elzy band recorded during 2012-2013. Yurko Gutsulyak created the album cover design and the image for the tour.



We worked in the studio on the territory of Dovzhenko Film Studios. If it is Dovzhenko why not to call the album “Zemlya” (Earth).

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk about the name of the album.



Within Ukrainian culture the symbol of the earth has special value. In Ukrainian language the word “Zemlya” means the earth, the ground, the land, the basis and the soil. For agricultural country the earth is the matter of importance. It is the pledge for life, prosperity and finally freedom. I decided there is no need to show the earth literally in design. This time it is shown like generously filled seeds that are traditional for Ukraine. These are rye, wheat, beetroot, flax, hollyhock, apple, etc. The seed is like a symbol of the preserved life that has accumulated all history and power to create the future. But only on the earth. There are 12 songs in the album and 12 types of seeds on the cover. Each song corresponds to particular seed. I chose seeds ideologically and visually while Svyatoslav Vakarchuk looked for emotional communication with songs. The brown color symbolizing the earth dominates in album design.

Yurko Gutsulyak about the design idea.



"Land" is a very grand word. But if we put it simple, then this is space for grain – where grain dies in order to generate new life. The basis. What everything stands on, where it returns – in order to leave again. "Land" is an eloquent title. So it seems logical that the new album by OE appears profound, calm – to the extent it is possible, given the emotional charge of Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. Anyway, there are virtually no poignant bursts here that would release emotional reaction – instead, there are "internal hooks", almost meditative immersions and surveillances, where even quite ordinary things appear in a not exactly ordinary light. Actually, everything depends on the quality of the lamp. After all, that's life: a lot of details, fragments, events, and reflections, which may eventually turn into dust, or – into land...
