The idiosynchratic finish trio, back with guitar-based spaced-out bohemian blues-rock and proto-garage-psychedelia, produced by Kramer (Galaxie 500, Daniel Johnston, Ween, Bongwater, a.m.o) Recorded in just 10 days at the band's own Altai studios 22-Pistepirkko step forward with their idea of impressive simplicity, lively trio-playing and good melodies. After periods of heavy experiments in electronic production work, their current concept of keeping things simple was already their approach for the Drops+Kicks (2005) album sessions. Now, with the new album one can hear it in full bloom. P-K Keraenen's vocals and guitar playing have gathered depth that one doesn't hear too often. Additionally, drummer Espe Haverinen simplified his playing to a great effect and sings more touching songs then on any other album. Asko Keraenen's sonic bass, weird organs and effects add a room with a view, so specific 22pp and just right for producer Kramer to play with those bits and pieces in a most gentle and subtle way. Chris Bailey of The Saints heard it and wrote: "From the first bars of the opening track you know you are in for a treat, this record is MAGIC. It is in fact a tour de force through the very unique musical landscape of 22-PP. Each song has its own personality and reference point which should defy inclusion on the same album yet all combine to create an astonishing journey through all that is glorious about pop music. ...a stupendous piece of work!"
