Värttinä
iki
14.99

The latest from the ever-frustrating girl-group-with-band from Finland, once again with a mix of absolutley brilliant songs and some silly-pop failures. This time they go back to producer Janne Haavisto, who worked with them on the lovely Aitara and the dreadful Kokko, and here he has managed to get the band out front enough of the time to keep things moving. For true fans of the band, this is probably in the Top 3 on their ratings chart. Adventurous souls may want to look elsewhere in Finland for creative force or purer folks sounds.

Record label press:
iki marks Värttinä's 20th anniversary, and it marks a band's return to its strengths: great tunes, crisp production, and those amazing voices! The band's 10th album since its inception also brings back producer Janne Haavisto (Aitara, Kokko), who keeps the sound sparse and clean. iki is the primal, eternal breath, like the wind of a butterfly wing in motion, like their captivating voices and the simple, airy production.

Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
