Details:
Kaarna is a new Finnish band, that is connecting in its music free improvisation and rock. The spirit is to create music, where psychedelic, jazz and rock influences couple with group improvisation of guitar, bass and drums.
some quotations from prerelease album reviews:
"KAARNA is a promising Finnish psychedelic progressive / post rock band with Mikko Nurmi''s matchless talent for composition, and deep bass, Mikko Iivanainen''s fuzzy and dazzling guitar, Tatu''s heavily and rigidly strict drumming. This album "Spring" is their brilliant debut album and simultaneously well-completed one."
"Kaarna''s debut EP was a big pleasant surprise for me! Unknown Finnish band plays music I needed some listening to catch in, and I believe every next spin will open me more nuances. Far nor very often situation nowadays.
Album''s opener, "Twelve", is heavy-weight attack of distorted guitars, with some melodic tunes (even Eastern?) deeply under the skin. Psychedelic jamming, but not boring at all.
Second song, "Four", is aerial down tempo guitar and loops based dreamy instrumental piece. With cool and melancholic melody line, coming slowly from somewhere and becoming electric guitar line on the front of the second half of the compositions. Some ambient feeling and Fripp comes to mind. And the whole song becomes a "quite storm" at its end."
