Jan Helsing – Sünnipäev (2014)




/Shoegaze, Alternative pop, Indie rock, Dream pop/

Comment: Undoubtedly Jan Helsing`s debut album Kajalood is one of my favourite albums in 2014 (issued on the Estonian main indie label Seksound). Sünnipäev (Birthday) is a main hit track from it. There are represented two versions of it, one of them is the instrumental one and another is with singing. I shall have to confess, I am deeply felt in love with Kärt Ojavee`s beautiful voice and Jan Kaus` wise lyrics about love, hope and openness for the world. By the way, behind Jan Helsing hide themselves five middle aged gentlemen who did constitute such musical group as Dreamphish in the 90s, an outstanding indie combo. They recruit guest vocalists for different songs, most of them are female ones.
