New album, RAUTAVUO, out May 8th!
A current runs through the cycle of the year. Powerful, molten, searing. It flows from the biting cold of seemingly neverending winter (Takatalvi) deliberately toward the land of iron (Rautamaa). A bridge forms between mindful soundscapes and the earthy, gritty traditions of the polska. All as the song of the Cuckoo bird (Käkilintu) calls along the way.
At the heart of the ensemble is a string quartet, infused with winds, drums, piano, guitar, and voice. Iron (rauta) is permanent, while flow (vuo) is ever in motion. In this music, tradition is not a dusty memory, but a living entity - moving, shaping, and transforming. It offers a moment to pause, to breathe, and to enter a world of profound musical emotion.
