I was just reading some info about this band, and is cataloged has a "pop indie". I often try to avoid the term "pop", it sounds like bubble gum, something you throw way after a bit of chewing, and i chewed a bit on this album, and I still like it, so i will drop the "pop", and just call it "folk indie".

What can you expect from this one ? Like most of the the "folk indie" genre, it has a lot of instruments going around, filling the empty spaces with melodic strings and catchy rhythms. You will find some odd instruments, like ocassional banjo, metallophones, haunting organs, lo-fi hand claps.

A small note on the string section: they really used well the strings (cellist Anja Linna), adding so much depth in each track, a good example is "The Garden" track and "Tuuli". Frederik Karisson's voice is soothing and a makes a good combination with the underlying style of Solander.

Overall: 7
Audio Quality: 7.5

Pros: You find a mixed bag of instruments, creating some fresh sounds
