Standard Deviation

Out today: Dreamhouse by Chloe Landau is now available on all platforms. We are proud to welcome Chloe Landau with her first full-length release — an artist to watch, with a singular voice, sharp poetry, and a new language of femininity and empowerment. Dreamhouse unfolds as a fragile, grotesque pop universe — moving between intimacy, war, and glamorous collapse. The album reflects the experience of a generation growing up in wartime Ukraine: deeply perceptive, forced to mature fast, yet still playful, alive, and radically creative. Known for her uncompromising, hyper-sexy, feminine performances on stage, Chloe now opens a deeper space through her music. This record reveals the depth behind the persona — intimate, poetic, and fearless. Through her lyrics, written entirely in Ukrainian, we encounter both vulnerability and control, collapse and tenderness. Listen closely. Dreamhouse is here.

State of Latitude, the new album by Khrystyna Kirik, is out today on Standard Deviation. A research-based sound document, the album is dedicated to four Ukrainian landscapes transformed by war — Sviati Hory, Syvash, Velykyi Chapelskyi Pid, and Kamianska Sich — translating environmental damage and disrupted natural rhythms into music. The project was originally developed as an audiovisual installation during the Echoes of the Earth residency at Kyiv’s ∄, in collaboration with @_u2203_ and ecologist Anna Kuzemko, supported by @goetheukraine . The release comes ahead of Khrystyna’s performance on 31 January at Radialsystem as part of Disturbed Ground, a collaboration between Kyiv’s ∄ @theredoesnotexist.club and CTM Festival, supported by @goetheinstitut , where she presents The Core, a live audiovisual work with Mark Bain. Artwork by Myk Rudik @_u2203_ , under the artistic direction of @alen.hast Mastering by @demianferiy

EP Transitioning Practice is now available on all platforms. Standard Deviation presents Transitioning Practice — a split vinyl EP by Nastya Vogan and Phase Fatale. Four tracks tracing memory, displacement, and return. Melancholic yet charged techno — made both for the dance floor and for moments of deep inner stillness. The visual concept by @crosslucid expands the record’s scope beyond sound, turning personal references into potent symbols. Inspired by Paul Klee’s Angelus Novus, the artwork holds the weight of history while gesturing toward forgotten innocence and imagined beginnings. 
The EP is now available on all platforms. Oeder vinyl via Bandcamp

 Мініальбом Transitioning Practice вже доступний на всіх платформах. Standard Deviation презентує Transitioning Practice — спліт-вініл від Nastya Vogan і Phase Fatale. Чотири треки про пам’ять, переміщення та повернення. Меланхолійне, проте напружене техно — водночас для танцполу й для моментів глибокої внутрішньої тиші. Візуальне оформлення від @crosslucid розширює межі звучання — перетворює особисті референси на символи. Натхненне Angelus Novus Пауля Клеє, воно поєднує трагізм свідчення історії з уявною можливістю нового початку. Слухайте Transitioning Practice на всіх платформах.

Ти моя трагедія скнилівська, ти живеш в мене десь під ребрами. Роздроблю їх — і вмить тебе випущу, як маленьку і хвору пташечку. Слухайте новий альбом Dreamhouse від Chloe Landau на всіх платформах.

@khrystyna_kirik ’s work moves between improvisation, electronics, voice, double bass, piano, and field recordings, shaped by a “beginner’s mind” — an attentive way of listening that allows the overlooked and the everyday to resonate. Trained in jazz and free improvisation, she approaches sound as something physical and relational, experienced through the body and shared collectively. Kirik’s new album State of Latitude, released on Standard Deviation on 30.01, grows out of this practice — a work rooted in listening and presence, exploring subtle shifts between landscape, memory, and perception. The artwork was created by Myk Rudik (@u2203 ), under the artistic direction of @alen.hast . On 31.01, Khrystyna performed at CTM Festival together with Mark Bain, presenting The Core as part of the broader project Disturbed Ground — a collaboration unfolding across performance, ecological and artistic research, and long-term exchange. The project is co-curated by ∄ (@theredoesnotexist.club ), CTM Festival, @mariana_berezovskiiiii , alen hast, and Anastasiia Syradoieva from @u2203 , and supported by @goetheinstitut .

🧚‍♀️ 6 лютого за підтримки лейбла Standard Deviation світ побачить дебютний альбом Chloe Landau — “Dreamhouse”. Це свого роду альманах творчості молодої та перспективної артистки за останній рік. ✨ Сьогодні маємо нагоду і честь презентувати другий сингл з цього альбому — трек “Снігова Фея”. Ексклюзивно для Neformat виконавиця розповіла більше про свій процес творення, війну і сумну історію, що надихнула Chloe на цю роботу. “У мене є друзі, за якими я дуже сумую, але їх уже немає поруч і ніколи більше не буде, й іноді мені досить важко прийняти цей факт та змиритися з ним. […] Для мене ця пісня про те, як іноді ти горюєш за кимось, і дні стають важчими та висять таким сірим тягарем, але все одно потрібно жити далі”, — Chloe.

As CTM 2026 begins, we’re grateful to share the presence of Ukrainian artists who work closely with the @_standard_deviation and @theredoesnotexist.club across the festival. From a moderated talk Ecology as Transmission: Listening with the Land (24.01) by , @mariana_berezovskiiiii , to an electro-acoustic improvisation workshop by @khrystyna_kirik (28.01), to newly commissioned audiovisual performances within Disturbed Ground (31.01), Ukrainian artists are present across formats — discourse, practice, and performance . Disturbed Ground, a collaboration by Kyiv’s ∄ and CTM Festival, brings together Ukrainian and international artists to respond to the ecological consequences of war in Ukraine. Newly commissioned works were created by pairing undo despot, @zeyblade_ , @khrystyna_kirik , Mark Bain, @alen.hast + @mykyta_rudik , and lighting concept by @zerodayyy . The project builds on earlier research developed at ∄ under Echoes of the Earth. Created within that context @artvartan ’s »Horizons of Disappearance« navigates the tension of the forest as a space of ecological richness and respite, and potential catastrophe due to large-scale anthropogenic factors such as climate change and war. CTM 2026 also opens with the exhibition Echoes of Tumult at Kunstraum Kreuzberg and daadgalerie, featuring works by nikita.kadan and @jannkad , among others. Follow our updates from the festival, go see the artists, join the conversations — and stay tuned for more.

Корея (Koreia) by Chloe Landau is out now on all platforms. The first single from Dreamhouse—her debut album and first release on Standard Deviation. Chloe is the songwriter behind all of her music. Her lyrics are poetic, romantic, and apocalyptic—written entirely in Ukrainian—marking a new generation of Ukrainian songwriters and performers. Moving between fragility and control, Koreia speaks of war, codependency, and emotional collapse, carried by Chloe’s unmistakable presence. Also available: a special music card dedicated to this release. Listen and explore—links in bio.

At the beginning of the year, @chloelandau1972 will release her debut album Dreamhouse on Standard Deviation — a fragile universe moving between intimacy, war and a glamorous collapse. Ahead of the release, we made a special singing music postcard: a limited-edition physical teaser featuring “Корея” (Koreia), one of the album’s key tracks, coming out as a single in early January. For some, this is a nostalgic music card from childhood. For others, a completely new way of discovering music. The postcard is available now on our Bandcamp and makes a perfect New Year’s gift. Each purchase also includes a download code for the full album once it’s released. Limited edition.

This year, we slowed down to go deeper. Developing ideas, starting albums from scratch, and spending time with artists became our focus. We released a split vinyl Transitioning Practice by @nastyavogan and @phasefatale , and Dreams of Trees by @hanna_svirska , premiered in our Community Garden. We traveled to Japan with @maryana_klochko and undo despot @haspyd to take part in Expo 2025 Osaka, and worked on Disturbed Ground with Ukrainian and international artists, ∄, @_u2203_ , and @ctmfestival . We also joined @reset_network to develop further international collaborations. Next year, the focus shifts to releasing the material we’ve been nurturing — including upcoming albums by @chloelandau1972 and @khrystyna_kirik . More music, more stories, more voices from our community. Stay close—more is coming soon.
