KUUPUU - YÖKEHRÄ (LP)

"Originally hailing from Tampere Jonna Karanka aka Kuupuu is known as a core member of Avarus, Anaksimandros, Kukkkiva Poliisi and Maniacs Dream. Additionally, she has recently started Hertta Lussu Ässä with Lau Nau and Islaja and has collaborated with Tomutonttu and Paavi. "Yökehrä" compiles the best material from her first four CD-R and cassette releases - a beautifull collection of haunting home baked freeform folk songs, strange lo-fi loops, vocal drones and psychedelic cut-ups, made using weirdly tuned plucked and strummed strings, bells, clattery percussion, unidentifiable wind instruments, backwards tape loops and a ton of other noisemakers all played and recorded by herself; accompanied by her distinctive voice with vocals sung and whispered making the whole atmosphere even more haunting and mysterious. Housed in a full colour sleeve with beautifull design / drawings / collage artwork by Jonna Karanka herself." (label info)
