Art Deco - Turhat Tarinat (2023)

The second album from this band from Finland.

The band is a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The band album debuted exactly ten years ago with the Syvaan Uneen album. An album I really liked.

I did not think it would take them ten years to follow up that album. But it has.

The band has not changed genre or style between these two albums. Neither is their new album an album of left overs from the debut album.

The music is a mix of Finnish folk rock, symphonic prog and jazz. 

The vocals are female vocals and the lyrics are delivered in Finnish. The vocals are good and perfect for this music you find on this album. 

There are a nice mellotron sound here who keeps popping in and out of the music. The twin guitars are also good. The music is by intent slightly dissonant and therefore pretty eclectic at times.

The music is still melodic but with a lot of interesting details. The music is also pretty quirky.

This is another good album from this band. I do not want to wait another ten years for a new album from this band, one of the best prog bands from Finland.
