The second album from this band from Finland.
The band is a sextet with a lineup of chimes, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, piano, mouth harp and vocals.
Some guests added violin, trumpet, saxophones and flute.
I reviewed their 2010 self-titled album in ProgArchives and gave it a very good rating. You can read it here. I hoped back then that we would see a lot more records from this band. That did not happen and that is a great shame as the band had something extra to offer the scene.
14 years has gone and the band returned with the same vocalist, Susan Karttunen, and a lot of the original band.
The music is a mix of folk rock, Canterbury prog and jazz. It also still retains the 1970s feel and sound.
The music is both quirky and slightly eclectic. It is still melodic and has got some very good vocals.
The vibe is good and there is a lot of interesting details. The freshness from their debut album and some of the ability to write very good songs has been lost, though. The vocals is very good, though.
I hope the band will soon release another album as this band is too talented just to disappear from the face of the earth.
