Delay Trees’ debut album was released today by Johanna Kustannus and it’s indeed a very very good album. A review to follow in a week or two.
News: Puskii! and Delay Trees
Puskii!
If you are wondering what ultrasport’s Sami Konttinen is doing nowadays, this is part of the answer. He has a new band called Puskii! and Puskii! is about to release their debut album later in the year 2010. You can already listen to the first single Kaalinpäitä ja kraanavettä on their myspace.

Delay Trees
After their really good self-released Soft Construction EP, Delay Trees signed a deal with Johanna Kustannus and their first full-length album is due out in september. The first single is called Cassette 2012 and you can download it from their website. And it’s free. “Tender pop songs that will melt your ears” says their website and that’s pretty accurate. I have high hopes that the album could be both brilliant and still sell quite well.

Delay Trees & Waterloo
Delay Trees
Delay Trees is a good reason for you to start planning some sort of cake/shoe attack against me. I got this beautiful record as a promo a few months ago. I really liked it and yet I still never wrote anything. Exactly how bad person am I? Pretty bad at least in this case. Lazyness is a bad excuse. Before my guilty conscience drives me insane, I try to make amends with this quick blog entry.
The Soft Construction EP is full of insightful and tender pop music. It’s a very beautifully crafted and thoughtfully arranged little record. A few times it almost becomes too ambitious for me, because I prefer simple things and simple songs. But even for me, it never gets too far and the core of the song is never lost. It remains in your heart. A lot of high profile pop releases will struggle to reach the level of this self-released beauty.

Waterloo
Guilty conscience part 2. I’ve also known Waterloo for quite a long time, but I think I have never mentioned them at onechord.net (their previous life form The Dance did feature though). I’m not entirely sure about the name Waterloo, but there’s no worries in the music department. There are no official releases available, but you can listen and download songs from their myspace. Maybe that one real killer song is still missing, but this is really good guitar pop nevertheless. Looking forward for more.
