New Devil Box song Réunion Pacific

devilbox

Hold your horse and stop galloping towards the post office to submit your ballot for the best Finnish albums of the year. You will need to hear this one first. A new Devil Box album Ceci n’est pas une guitare will arrive in December 2013. The first song Réunion Pacific just got into our headpiece 15 minutes ago and has not left the office since. Very addictive. Réunion Pacific goes like this.

Robin Pahlman’s debut EP out 15.11. Stream in advance.

robinep

Major news! Monkey Records from Berlin (originally New Zealand) will be releasing Robin Pahlman’s self-titled debut EP next Friday 15th of November. Robin Pahlman is a highly talented Finnish indie folk singer-songwriter who has been featured on this site several times and I’m thrilled that there’s finally an official release available. Monkey Records deserve one of One Chord to Another’s imaginary culture awards for such a release. They also gave me an opportunity to stream the forthcoming EP in advance. So if you can’t wait until Friday, hit that play button below and listen to some magnificent folk songs (Stream link will disappear from this post within a week or two). In Finland, the new EP will be easily available at least through the great Turku-based record store 8raita.

Robin Pahlman & Ghost Town will also celebrate the new release by touring in central Europe during November. No Finnish dates this time around, because Robin is living in Vienna these days and it doesn’t make financially sense to travel back so soon after their august Finnish tour. Here are the tour dates that I picked up from Robin’s Facebook.

Nov 15 EP Release Show @ Down Under, Vienna, Austria
Nov 16 Black Horse Inn Wels, Austria
Nov 18 Krone, Darmstadt, Germany
Nov 19 POP IN,Paris, France
Nov 20 Le Sombrero Café, Amiens, France
Nov 21 LR6, Brussels, Belgium
Nov 23 Barrock Maastricht, Netherlands
Nov 24 Hannekes Boom, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Nov 26 (House Show), Leverkusen, Germany
Nov 27 KINGKONGKLUB, Berlin, Germany
Nov 28 Laika, Berlin, Germany

And one more thing. Here’s the fairly new music video for the lead track of the new EP Miss Lonelyhearts.

New Delay Trees single Perfect Heartache

delayperfect

Delay Trees is a band that I sometimes love and sometimes don’t. Today it’s all love. Their new full-length album Readymade will arrive via Soliti Music in early 2014 and this lead single Perfect Heartache that surfaced today is just fantastic. If the rest of it sounds like this, it’s not going to be sometimes love anymore, it will be always love (like Nada Surf used to say).

Flavour of the Month November Punk Special 1.11.2013

A new month and a new Flavour Of The Month. It’s a punk special. 1981 and A.Impivaara share the stage. See you there.

Kulmikkaasti kirskuva punk tekee paluun Flavour Of The Month-klubille kun turkulainen anarko-postpunk-yhtye 1981 tekee jo perinteeksi muodostuneen vuosittaisen visiittinsä Pikku-Torren lavalle perjantaina 1.11. Yhtye on parhaillaan viikon mittaisella Britannian kiertueella, joten tarjolla on kohmeisen marraskuun kunniaksi reissuelämän koulima ja vetreyttämä bändi.

Illan avaa niin ikään turkulainen laulaja-lauluntekijä A. Impivaara, jolla on, paitsi illan teemaan sopivaa karheamman laidan soolomateriaalia, myös punktaustaa, mm. yhtyeistä Lunar Outpost ja The Lenients. Impivaaran laulut ovat, artistin omien sanojen mukaan, ”usein synkeitä ja kertovat pelonsekaisia ja surullisia tarinoita rakkaudettomista ihmiskohtaloista”. Jotkut saattavat tuntea Impivaaran myös suomenkielellä esiintyvistä yhtyeistä Kukkaislapset ja Klaava.
