AURA SHINING GREEN:
East of the Sun & West of the Moon
6-panel digipack 2CD 17,00€
Released on the name day of Joonatan, the massive retrospective compilation double-CD of Joonatan Elokuu’s wandering psychedelic folk group Aura Shining Green sees the light of day and the bright moonlit night. The first part “East of the Sun” carries the soft fragrance of flowers and the sunlit forests, reminding us perhaps of the works of B’ee (In Gowan Ring & Birch Book), Nick Drake and even early tunes Leonard Cohen. Second part “West of the Moon” takes us through the mysterious moonlit nights filled with wonder & magic. Bearing the ever present strong psychedelic folk aura and possibly some hints the artists mentioned earlier, these stories are murkier and full of feeling and intimacy. One might even hear some reminiscences of works of Timothy Renner (Stone Breath, Crown Tongue…) or even legendary Coil or Tangerine Dream in more ambient parts and synthesizer works.
KAARNA:
Comitatus Savolaxiæ
6-panel foilprinted digipack-CD 14,50€
The first full-length presents murky (dungeon?) synth ambient mixed with hints of martial industrial and notable amounts of old-school neoclassical. It’s dedicated to and inspired by the historical lands, culture, people, traditions and woods of the ancestral homeland of Savonia.
KAARNA:
Tutkielma magnetismista, kivusta ja valtiosta
6-panel foilprinted digipack-CD 14,50€
Tutkielma magnetismista, kivusta ja valtiosta” deals with with esoteric and Finnish historical themes; WWI & WWII related happenings, the struggle for independence and freedom from Soviet Union / Russia, and more personal level battles – the war trauma and poverty caused by the Chaos that not also surrounded Finland and all world, but also was stirring and causing unrest deep inside the veins of the nation of Finland. These dreamlike glimpses and visions of the times about 100 years ago can easily find their corresponding counterparts of the today’s world. As we all know – “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it”. But for the people with more esoteric world see that all the historical tales and their protagonists and antagonists also play a role in a different kind of plays, a whirlpools of energy currents, channeling and magick. The leaders of the Nations have secretly seeked help and guidance from divination and other forms of esoteric wisdom during all ages. Still, almost all of these methods are considered to be nonsense by modern standards… The album is musically ranging somewhere from industrial ambient to martial industrial, electro-ambient and neo-classical. Several texts from the former Finnish great men (Kallio, Jylhä, Kramsu, Mannerheim) has been sampled or borrowed to use as lyrics. Released 4.4. on the day of Ukko
KAARNA:
Väkipyssyvärssyjä ja Kulkutautitarinoita
6-panel digipack-CD 14,50€
These martial industrial styled blunderbuss-stories and plague-tales draw their inpiration on old ugly brothers Pestilence and War. Wherever you spot another, you can be sure the another one is not far away. The stories and songs on this album draw inspiration on soldiers blood-lust while marching towards the battle and pillage with heavy steps, the merciless plagues that keep pestering the world and all the innocent men in the wet dungeons with their itching shackles. With this one, it was impossible to hide the artitsts absolute admiration of legendary old school bands like The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud, older works of Der Blutharsch, Blood Axis, magickal Roman Ain Soph and legendary esoteric industrial loop master NON. So, expect old school martial industrial with deranged loops and vocals, broad-shouldered martial rhythms melted together with atmospheres woven with carefully selected analogue and 90’s synths and broad assortment of actual organic instruments.
KAARNA:
Kultataivaat, hopeaveet, unet helmiäistä
4-panel foilprited digipack-CD 14,50€
This ethereal industrial album deals with the classic concepts of dreamland and death as different counties of the same realm and a sources of inspiration and relief of the pains and struggles of the material world. It also touches on Finnish mythological stories, dreamlike visions of creating and shaping the world. Musically somewhere between “ethereal” with the synth washes and vocals and “ambient-industrial” styles, with slight touches with traditional instruments like percussions, piano, glockenspiel, kantele and tenor recorder. There’s traces of some very inspirational and legendary bands that can most likely be heard. Like dazy dreaminess and hypnotic discrepancy between the repetitiviness and chaotic improvisation of Coil, calm mythological old world wisdom of Dead Can Dance, and some splinters of the majestic psychedelia of Popol Vuh to mention the most important ones.
KEY:
Birch Skeletons, Skin Lanterns & Lake of Stars
6-panel digipack-CD 14,50€
The collected demos of Key are released in digipack-CD format. The design honors the original black & white aesthetics of the demos, and seals the pack with small & stylish silver foilprint on the front cover. Music on the demos is even more unpolished than on the two full-lengths “Crown of Winter” and “Silver Moon Slumber”. The sense of improvisation and pure feeling over technical aspects is strongly present over all the songs. Most of the songs were not rehearsed, only recorded in a whim and led by emotion and visions. This is post-punkish neofolk for the people who are tired of polished plastic sound present in so many releases these days. These are fairytales from candle-lit cellars and misty forests made by (and for) the people who long for the childlike emotion of the old tales, storytelling by the candlelight, and the longing for world of wonders and joy.
PYHÄ KUOLEMA:
Saavun vaikken kulkisi
6-panel foilprinted digipack-CD 14,50€
Traditional to the bone, but still clearly finding it’s own sound despite the classic ”man+guitar” approach, Pyhä Kuolema debut album ”Saavun vaikken kulkisi” brings forth a dozen of atmospheric, national romantic, extremely emotional and intimate songs sung in Finnish. The style of playing and singing varies from solemn ritualistic neofolk-songs to troubadur-like playful approach to traditional folk music. Mikko Ilmari “Riimu” Pöyhönen composed, sung, played, recorded and mixed the whole album by himself, giving it the intimate touch and thus manages the handling of the double edged sword that this kind of folk can be – the sometimes even rough and stripped down output with no gimmicks is this time succesfully shaking hands with the alluring soft intensity.
PYHÄ KUOLEMA:
Uusi panssaroitu Suomi
CD, 6-panel foilprinted digipack 14,50€
The third album of this vital act “Uusi panssaroitu Suomi” (The new armored Finland) draws another full chapter in Finnish folk & neofolk with vigorous blood. Expect more varied instrumentation and approach, with the usual fingerprint of Finnish spirit. Eerie synths and robust percussions are brought to accompany the well known style of mournful vocals and masterful guitarwork. The album seeps the war trauma of the artists’ family as well as very cruel and sometimes even humorous introspection. Never hiding or shunning away from difficult or dangerous topics he also digs deep in the national spirit of Finland, with all it’s ugly scars, smiling faces, shattered bones and beautiful sunsets. This is a true milestone on the path of re-awakening of the golden age of Finnish spirit, Finnish art and Finnish man.
TERVAHÄÄT
12 page booklet CD 14,50€
The almost amorphous debut album of Tervahäät lays a cornerstone to the formation of this singular band. Almost formless and freezing like a blizzard which is carrying the woes of the ancestors of the native Finland, this album presents a wintry nordic landscape with of rebirth ancient rituals, and testimonies of the cruelty of Finnish nature.
TERVAHÄÄT:
Patria
6-panel digipack-CD 14,50€
With Patria Tervahäät takes a leap towards traditional neofolk. Somber songs are based on warm vocals, determined acoustic guitarwork, and samples of Finnish classical composers. About half of the lyrics of the songs are borrowed from Finnish poets and writers who also loved our homeland each in their own specific ways. Patria is a concept album of our fatherland Finland seen through the eyes of Tervahäät.
TERVAHÄÄT:
Noitanaama
6-panel digipack-CD 14,50€
The newest Tervahäät album reeks of swamps, ghosts and murky soil. This could be the most bizarre Tervahäät album so far. Never had they dwelled so knee-deep in bogs of delirium and undead. Singular rhytmical and melodical presence interwines to improvisation and sheer madness. Crude home-made instruments and rough-hewn electric manipulation join the more common instruments to invoke ghastly sounds straight from the mists of the graves, deep forests and swamps. Noitanaama staggers around the borders of folk and industrial never really setting its dirty foot on any genre. This is on the well known gloomy side of Tervahäät except even more dark, eerie and wrapped in scent of corpses and lunacy… but never, never ever without the small but bright glimpses of light and hope.
TERVAHÄÄT:
Virtus
8-panel digipack-CD 14,50€
“VIRTUS” is the second part of the “Neofolk Finland” trilogy that “PATRIA” started in 2012. This time, after the gloomy and bog-stenched “NOITANAAMA”, TERVAHÄÄT takes a leap towards more traditional neofolk… but quickly sidesteps to krautish industrial psychedelia and takes a cover in the trenches of futurism or even visions of 100 years old modernism. So, “VIRTUS” is a “neofolk album” and it is not. :AA: has always been reluctant to namedrop, but in this case it has to be done: To add a suitable finishing touch to this opus the mastering work was made by the master masterer of all masterers, the archmagus of sound, Dennis Blackham of Skye Mastering. If you want to see what an “impressive CV” looks like, go find his website. The album has been in the works on-off for a decade now and some parts are originally composed already in 2010 in the same session as “PATRIA”… Anyway, expect this weird one approaching with a coctail flavoured with gunpowder and diesel oil, electrocuted to add a twist… something you haven’t heard before. It’s the sound of crude machines bowing to sophisticated minds and crude minds bowing to sophisticated machines. The muted explosion, the slow crumbling of the marble statues under time and pollution, the warm feeling of a flash grenade on the face of an blind man, an auditive representation of a comparison of a cut from a surgical steel knife to a cut from a rusty bayonette under a microscope or a kaleidoscope.
VIRTA:
Elon syvä lempi
4 page booklet CD 14,50€
Virta is the channel of the musical ambitions of Santtu Forsström hailing from Kristiinankaupunki – alluring small town located at the beautiful West Coast of Finland. This nature-praising and original music draws its influences from folk and progressive folk-rock, and the music of five tracks of this fourty-minute album is woven together with drums, percussions, lively bass, acoustic guitars and woodwind instruments. Skillful instrumentation and the progressive elements and song structures create an atmosphere that is at the same time sophisticated and primitively vigorous. “Elon syvä lempi” is rich in nuances, and full of feeling of longing and ethereal calmness. Combined with the ever-present feeling of the element of unpredictability the album truly bears resemblances to the streams and rivers of the North.
