Album Review
DeVoss
Reviewed 2019-06-10 
– General Description: Pölyä [poh-LUU-ah] translates as “dust”. These Finnish rarity recordings are available on Black vinyl, with a 44 page booklet that reveals the background of the 22 artists and bands. This music varies from pop to rock and from “mod revival to synthesizer bliss to distorted noise”. This music at times follows traditional song structures – and at other times is all over the place. Play a few at a time. They are supposedly in a chronological order based on the individual songs.

Play “Stuttgart” and “Dallas” back-to-back as some fun fake tourist audio impressions of the two cities.

All songs (when needed) in this review are followed by simplified phonetic pronunciation guides for the Finnish song titles and their translation into English bracketed by double-colons. Finnish isn’t that hard to pronounce; double vowels are mostly held longer and stressed more.
