Tiiu Helinä: Vähinä EP - the art pop release of the year?

This one finally came out yesterday, and it's excellent! Like their album from a few years ago, they combine folky vocal melodies with somewhat artsy electronics, but this time the dub element is even stronger, and it works great.

I like it!

Nice. 🙂

This is lovely.

this is cool

have you checked out Hen Ogledd? you might dig it

Never heard of it, but if it's similar to this, I'll check it out.

Btw, my wife hates the single posted above; here in Finland we're now in the time of year when the sun barely shows up, and since she's from Costa Rica, the lack of sun is something she's had a a hard time adjusting to... I've playing the EP at home, and the chorus of "Pimeys" goes like this:

Pimeys of syvä,
pimeys on hyvä,
pimeys on pysyvä

Which translates to:

Darkness is deep,
darkness is good,
darkness is constant

So you can see why she doesn't agree with the singer, even though the "darkness" there is obviously a metaphor. :)

I'm still playing this nonstop, "Pimeys" especially is probably the best new song of 2020 for me.
