Title: Yha hama­raa
Artist: Paa­voharju
Style: “Rag­nar Rock, Olli Ainala, and Lauri Ainala hail from the island town of Savon­linna. The asce­tic born-again Chris­tians recor­ded Yha hama­raa bet­ween 2001 and 2005, set­ting their Emer­so­nian lyrics (all sung in Fin­nish) to a fluc­tua­ting electro-acoustic back­ground that threads short-wave, field recor­dings, reg­gae beats, pin­ball sounds, sun­ken sea shan­ties, Sublime Fre­quen­cies radio scram­bles, the som­ber choir of a back­woods con­gre­ga­tion, ope­ras made of cheap elec­tro­nics, spec­tral female voi­ces (with the occa­sio­nal male bird song), cham­ber muses, mid­night ambiance, and omni­pre­sent crac­kles.“
Review: Pitch­fork
My Rating: 8/10
