Tapio, Jorma -& Terje Isungset-
Aihki
Noice instruments sad to say, but armed with flutes, bells, voices, kantele, percussion, Jew's harp and lots and lots of
drums, these two whip up a super wild and wooly, ultra dense blast of what we can only describe as tribal forest folk
free jazz. Or something like that. Free jazz is probably the closest comparison, the first few tracks are dense
psychedelic percussive freak outs, lots of splattery spastic free jazz drumming all over the place, deep bowed bass,
steel string zings, and super creepy strangled and howled vocalizations. Everything sounds very primal and tribal, thick
swaths of rhythmic throb underpinned by shimmering washes of cymbal sizzle and warbly mumbled melodies. The band sort of
wonders through some ancient forest, fluttering flutes, simple subtle percussion, distant drones. A bit reminiscent of
Avarus or Anaksimandros for sure. Finnish music obsessives need this no matter what. Lovers of that modern free folk new
weird America thing might just find that this pushes all their buttons, and REALLY REALLY open minded jazz heads might
also want to give this a try.
