All the active music bloggers who haven’t wasted their time watching Finland’s not that successful ventures in the olympics have already told you this a long time ago. Kiki Pau’s second album White Mountain will be released 3rd of march by Johanna Kustannus. The opening track An Old Song has gotten quite a lot of recognition in the blogosphere. You can download it from glue.fi. Hit this link and you should be able to find it from there.
Okay, it would be even cooler if it was When You Find Out (also known as the greatest song in the world), but Hanging On The Telephone is pretty good choice as well. Listen to the song on their blog.
Slap That Bass! is a 4cd box set that is full of the finest finnish rockabilly and 50’s style rock’n’roll. It was compiled by Mikko Aaltonen and released by Johanna Kustannus on 17th of february. I know this might not totally fall into that “finnish pop” category, but it’s an important release nevertheless. Actually it’s worthy of those onechord’s imaginary culture awards and even though I’m not a huge rockabilly fan, Slap That Bass! definitely goes to my shopping list.
