Review: Self Titled (Tuhat Kuolemaa Sekunnissa)

Reviews — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 01:29:06 +0000

Tuhat Kuolemaa Sekunnissa is a neofolk outfit from Finland. Their music is dreamy, earthy, and yet also muscular. It feels carved from hard wood, bristling with a raw and rough texture that feels good against one's ...

True to their name, Finnish experimentalists Somnivore have served up a dream-laden sonic voyage with their album Clergy of Oneiros. Using found sounds, samples, noisescapes, and a stately sense of drama, they've created an unsettling, absorbing, and subtle piece of otherworldly ...

Review: Self-titled (Tervahäät)

Reviews — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:14:40 +0000

Tervahäät is highly recommended for fans of folk music, ambient music, doom metal (although I stress that is is not metal by any stretch), and lovers of nature in its colder incarnations.

This album is both dark forest and reflective waters, and invites us to find ourselves in surprising new ways and ...

Review: Tuhkankantajat (MAA)

Reviews — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 15:31:51 +0000

Tuhkankantajat is darkness tempered with ecstasy; raw and sophisticated; deeply interior yet verging on the boundless. These Finnish masters have been quietly forging rich new possibilities for neofolk, and it seems to me only a matter of time for their influence to pervade ...

Review: Silver Moon Slumber (Key)

Reviews — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 21:56:42 +0000

Hailing from the cold but beautiful climes of Finland, Key are purveyors of dreamy and evocative neofolk. Their new release Silver Moon Slumber is a beautiful album, at once trancelike and atmospheric. Loaded with unique groove, and resonant with inflections from New Wave, this release conjures cold but joyous landscapes in the mind’s ...
