8.6

/Noise, Psych-music, Improvised music, Experimentalism, Avant-folk, Avant-garde/

Comment: Uton is a nom de plume for Jani Hirvonen who is known as an ambassador of the Finnish avant-folk/psych-folk/psychedelic folk/electro folk generalized as "forest folk". Here are represented 15 tracks veering from rough freeform improvisations to psych-ish and nihilistic noiseful overthrows. First of all, the album reminds of Vierivä Viiksiportieeri`s vehement, open-aired works and Kemialliset Ystävät`s crawling, layered metaphysics (if to speak in the context of the Finnish folk scene).
