iki
Artist: Värttinä
Label: NorthSide
Label : Northside - http://www.noside.com
Description:
iki marks Värttinä's 20th anniversary, and it marks a band's return to its strengths: great tunes, crisp production, and those amazing voices!
The band's 10th album since its inception also brings back producer Janne Haavisto (Aitara, Kokko), who keeps the sound sparse and clean.
"iki" is the primal, eternal breath, like the wind of a butterfly wing in motion, like their captivating voices and the simple, airy production.
