Kuu. Sepi - Rannan Usvassa (1980)

The one and only album from this artist from Finland.

Sepi Kuu has always been a mystery. Many believed it was a band. It turns out to be one man and the lineup here is electronics, synths, acoustic guitars, percussion and vocals.

Some detective work from another blog has revealed that this album is the Finnish poet Mikko Tola's poems enhanced with some music. This is how this project came about what it is.

The vocals are in Finnish so that makes sense. Not that I speak a single word of Finnish..... But this makes sense.

The music on this album is a mix of folk music, world music and depressive pop with a lot of electronica included.

Both Joy Division and Comus is references.

The difference is that this forty minutes long album sounds cheap and nasty. It is by all means a turkey and one best avoided.

There are some obscure albums who deserve to be forgotten. Just like this year deserve to be forgotten. A year when Ukraine and it's people took a bullet for us in the free world. Both this album and this year is a turkey.
