Monday Long Song
Kiki Pau's fourth album 'Hiisi', the Finnish quartet's first full length outing since 'Pines' in 2013, was released earlier this month on the always trustworthy Beyond Beyond is Beyond record label. The 'Pines' LP is generally acknowledged as being the band's masterpiece, though for me this latest effort raises the bar even higher. From melancholic pastoral loveliness to full-on polyrhythmic wigouts and beyond, interspersed with occasional soothing birdsong interludes - what's not to love?

Another new Name to me that I will listen to when I come home this evening. Finished Dylan's 6 CD-box last Weekend and as you said it is wonderful and a masterpiece of creating Songs.

Another fantastic track Swede and another band to add to the list! Thanks
