Harmaa - Airut: aamujen (2004 UTUstudio)

1. saapuminen
2. seitsensarvi
3. lävitseni kaikkeen
4. luopumisen laulu
5. kuvajainen
6. oikea sointi
7. kahluu
8. hiensynty
9. läheltä

If you like Tenhi, this might be for you. It's a continuation of their Airut:ciwi album. All the songs are piano driven (with some bass/drums guitars). Some parts are very upbeat while others are quite dark and brooding. Vocals, both male and female have that finnish shaman-like quality you know from Tenhi. Very earthy and spacious. Much like Tenhi, it sounds like nature itself is channeled through these songs... I tried to choose the tracks with a mix of piano and other instruments.

Great pick. Don't they have another Harmaa album planned for this year?

 

[Dev]

Mandatory purchase for EVERYONE. Easier to get into than any Tenhi and maybe as good. The piano RUlzzzzzzz.

 

[KILL TULLY]

Nice. I'm gonna buy this for a chick I know.

 

[Demilich]

I've been meaning to listen to this band for a hell of a while now... thanks!

aye thats what they all say....

good this, i really like the piano
couple more spins needed

 

[Erik]

Yeah, I like this as well. Sounds a whole lot like Tenhi though, side projects that sound almost like the "main band" always kinda puzzle me.

 

[unhinged]

i've never heard Tenhi
should I open my mind to them ?

I would suggest: yes

Track 3 is very mellow indeed - pleasant and gentle. Sadly, I'm in quite a pissed off mood at the moment, so I'm off to the Desaster recommendation thread.

This album is really good, few songs that I didn't care, but still a great record.

Here's one track not available on the album: http://utustudio.com/harmaa_audio/suruksi_V4.mp3

Good stuff -- only managed to grab the first track here before the jewsendits expired, but I like what I hear. The piano is the standout -- the section at 3:15 is especially hunky dory.

 

[Dev]

The album is full of such catchy and beautiful sections , definitely more easy-listening than Maaäet for instance..

 

[Desert Valkyrie]

I've ordered this and three Tenhi albums (haven't found Airut : Ciwi yet, which figures...ha!). Eagerly awaiting their arrival.
