Malady - Ainavihantaa (2021)

 

The third and so far latest album from this band from Finland.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, mellotron, organ, minimoog, piano, synths, clarinet, saxophone and vocals.

The band returned three years after their very good second album with this, their third album.

This band went back to the roots of the Finnish psych and progressive rock scene from the 1970s and created their own brand on their two first albums.

This is something they have done on this almost forty minutes long album too.

Take some cool mid-tempo melodic music with plenty of organ, minimoog, mellotron, guitars, saxophones and some clarinet. Add some cool, good Finnish vocals on the top.

The soundscape is very cool and the music has some very interesting details. 

It has to be said that this album is not as good as their second album though. Nevertheless, this is a good album which reeks of class and quality. This is really a band who deserve a lot more attention and one of my best discoveries this year.
