Athough the press release states that she released this back in January, i only heard it for the first time last night. The first two songs seem written on the spot, in a ruptured rhythm and with choruses that seem caught in mid-air, announced in a startling yet soft Finnish, as if channeled through a prodigious child. The record then sets into a restrained instrumental pause, after which Islaja's voice re-enters to hover over jangly fiddles, electric guitars, whistles and her own fractured choruses, all the while gently luring me down to attest to the submersion of western civilization into primordial abyss. I'm most certainly coming along.
