in her new house

Resonating. Soothing. Promising. Feeling very comfortable in the house of Astrid Swan. And so should you.

a good (night) song by Delay Trees

Closing the day with cinematic patters from Delay Trees. Good. Night.

writers, writers | concerts, concerts

Dealing with too many gigs? Never. Some you are simply attentively listening in spirit.



Art direction and motion credits go to: Nórr.

hopeful to see them now

"We find our inspiration in old movies, late-night biking trips, second-hand shops, picnics and love." All of which are simply perfect reasons to be a perfect band. I should say I am really looking forward to midnight biking again as much as I am looking forward to Paperfang's debut album that will be released this year by Soliti. I am hopeful to see it.



For more music from Finland make sure to check Glue & we never stood a chance (in FIN).

dreaming of june

So speaking of good concert vibes: Big Wave Riders are truly a pure joy to watch on stage.



The video was directed by Teppo Meriläinen of the band.

(...) take all the pent up shame
(...) blend in

hazy flow | delay trees

The Emma Gaala Nominations (Finnish music industry awards) were announced some weeks ago and I was pleased to see the work of Sami Korhonen for the best artwork. Combined with the hazy flow of Delay Trees' guitars and vocals, it's a perfect way to tame this winter. It was also good to see the band live last week playing together with their Soliti colleagues Big Wave Riders. Good. Vibes.

Please meet the director of the video Sami Korhonen and see more works of cAPS LOCK HELSINKI.                                         there’s no one strong enough to break my heart

good (night) song from Paperfangs

Closing my day with Paperfangs. Always can count on good tunes from Soliti. Good. Night.

summer time

I still have summer in my mind. The outside world helps to keep this image. And so does this split single by Top Sounds and The New Tigers. So blue blue and full of sand. Good. Songs. Good. Night.

a redder shade | a whiter shade

Speaking of colours: there is this vivid artwork of Astid Swan that attacks positively your eyes when you open her website. The voice of Astrid blends accurately with the colours of this time of a day when it's in shade already. I run across Astrid's music at the beginning of the week while discovering this quite new and very promising label from Helsinki: Soliti. For more releases by Soliti click here. 



Shady Lane is a cover of Pavement's song the video of which was directed by Spike Jonze.
