Caribou teaming up with Owen Pallet. Canadian at its best. Dream. Love. Dream.

yellow fiction

Still staying in a moshi moshi mood and getting good vibes from Fiction. On a watch list.

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

autumn apples

First apples of the autumn season have just turned into a delicious jam to be shared with those kind souls that are around. Autumn? So soon? I dream of white, white pavements and skies. Scorching white. Insane. Insanely beautiful. Efterklang's Apples. Shared. Cold? No. Geometrical. Spacious. Endless.

Please meet the authors of the artwork Hvass & Hannibal.

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.

a good (night) song from Wild Nothing

What a fantastically colourful gift from Wild Nothing! The vinyl of the new album Nocturne will be released in six cover sleeves versions. Read more details on Bella Union's website. The band is touring with Beach House and The Walkmen (old good friends :)). A happy-sad song to close this exotic summer jolly-lucid daydreaming. Good. Night.
