Beautifully moody electronicy dubish music from this four piece from Umeå, Sweden. Bandcamp says they were inspired by dub and 80s DIY/post-punk music. They blend those inspirations together in their own way, mixing electronic beats and traditional instruments into a sound as unique as it is lovely. Their singer, Hanna Kangassalo, sings entirely in Finish. Hard to describe their sound, like maybe a mid point between Young Marble Giants and Bjork? Highly recommended though, give it a listen and see what you think. Sounds from the end of some tracks bleed over into the next if you want to play more than one together.
#1 Quiet vocals over uptempo beats, violins come and go.
#2 Dark beats, chanting vocals, might be my favorite track.
#3 Starts with statiky beat, bright guitar and muffled bass join in, then gentle vocals.
#4 Glassy beat with chimes, drums join in, then bass. Vocals are slightly melancholy.
#5 Reverb from end of track 4 into muffled trumpet, drums and effects join for this minute long instrumental.
#6 More of 80s electronic vibe, starting with beats, slow and rhythmic. Drums join, then distorted vocals come in after a minute. Guitars come around the two minute mark, followed by lead vocals.
#7 Starts with wind and clicking clacking noises, a violin grows in the background with various electronic streams, a distant vocal chant, then a beat and drums come up with violin, lead vocals, and electronic effects into a peppy vibe.
#8 Cheap 80s keyboard sounding beat, some crow calls, synths join for this one minute instrumental.
#9 Moody and rhythmic looping beat made up of organ and distant drums with somber vocals.
#10 Quirky drums, glass chimes, upbeat vocals.
