On their latest LP “Sykli”, Finland’s group Siinai offer us cosmic post-krautrock for the post-apocalyptic world.

Leader of krautrock outfit K-X-P Timo Kaukolampi channels his cosmic vibes into a debut solo album.

After previous year’s highly anticipated reincarnation as a solo artist, Mikko Joensuu trades in his guitar for synths and completes his colossal album trilogy with an ambient-spirited epic.

Getting ready for their debut EP, Finnish dreampop group Cina Polada offer us a catchy and bubbly taste of the upcoming release.

After his proper international debut on Domino sublabel Weird World, Jaakko Eino Kalevi took a break to record and tour with his old collaborator Long-Sam.

Finland’s top cult band Circle, in a move that for them seems almost boringly logical, signed with the well known US experimental metal label Southern Lord. You wouldn’t expect them to change their irreverent ethos too much though.

Mikko Pykäri was best known from indie darlings Regina, who broke up both as a band and the relationship central to it. Flying solo he enlists a number of singers to convey what seems like his sincere feelings about it all.

Sanna “Litku” Klemetti burst on the scene the previous year with her infectious songs fusing garage rock and DIY punk attitude with classic vintage pop or even schlager.

Being a fan of an indie band is almost like making an investment: you buy the record, wear the pin or t-shirt, make more converts (but not too many!).
