COMING SOON: TRAINS

My new album Trains will be released on 29 July. Here's the first song you get to hear from there. It's called The Disaster.



The album was recorded at two homes: mine and and my friend's. That's probably one of the reasons the album has a certain home-made feel to it, yet at the same time the compositions are somewhat more varied than before. I wanted to lean more towards the lo-fi end of things - the main percussions on the album are a cardboard box and a tambourine.

Here's the cover of the album. It's made by Tuomas Kärkkäinen.


Here's the track listing:
1 Six Weeks Since the Election Day
2 Drunken Escapist
3 My Head Is an Envelope
4 You're Living on the Same Street
5 In Between Stations
6 Helsinki 53
7 World Painted White
8 The Disaster

Trains will be released by Siko Records.
