Treehouse will release their debut album Top to Bottom later this year and based on the samples I’ve heard so far, it’s going to be a country-tinged pop treasure. I can’t wait to hear it. This is so my kind of stuff. Rich harmonies, beautiful melodies, pedal steel…
Recently Treehouse gave us a video for the title song Top to Bottom and another new song entitled …

Today I bought Mörönsyötti by Viljami Kukkonen and I instantly fell in love with it. If I still wrote proper reviews, this one would get full five hearts. Mörönsyötti holds so much beauty and comfort inside. Listening to it for the first time ended up being almost like a spiritual experience. Part of the reason for that was that I had only heard one song …

There’s a very special Flavour of the Month taking place at Pikku-Torre, Turku on friday 2nd of march, 2012. Ex-Merrymaker David Myhr will be playing a solo concert with great Finnish duo Heartjet as the support act.
I’ve already praised The Merrymakers enough (ok, that might not be possible, they were so brilliant), so let’s focus on things happening now. David Myhr’s solo debut Soundshine came …

Nopat – Kadun tuolla puolella (Kleppari, 2012)
I’ve been looking forward to this album for a year or two, because Nopat is a big favourite at this household and I loved those little discs they released back in 2010. Therefore it was quite clear that Nopat has to take the album of the month spot, if the album will be as good as I hoped it …

The major announcement of the day was that Soliti will release the new Cats on Fire album All Blackshirts To Me on 28th of march. A Few Empty Waves is a brilliant new outtake from the upcoming album and it is now available as a free download. I’m so thrilled about the fact that there will soon be a new Cats on Fire album. There …

I feel so damn ashamed that I never wrote anything about the first Ochre Room release, Blue Ribbon EP. That debut EP was already really good, but I still didn’t expect them to be so amazing as they were last friday at Flavour of the Month. I was instantly in love with their sound and I’ve watched the concert half a dozen times afterwards. Ochre …

Tolbiac is a genius. Kaupunki is a new a song by Tolbiac. I fell in love with it about 23 seconds after I started listening to it. Hit play and try to beat my record.
 
And here’s a few months older treasure Elokuussa.
 
I don’t know about you, but I think these are some of the best Finnish songs I’ve heard during the recent months. Tolbiac …

Today was a great day for Finnish pop music, because two marvellous albums came out. I already know that the Nopat album is awesome and I’m 100% sure that the Burning Hearts album is also wonderful (I will buy a copy next time I visit the 8raita record store). Unfortunately I was too busy to write a proper news entry today, so I just give …
