EM Records is pleased to present "
Sisar" (Sister in English), the newest release from Finland's Kuupuu, a multi-talented musician and visual artist. This vinyl-only release, following our previous CD compilation of her earlier works, "
Sous juju" shows her continued evolution, a developing style, more electronic, but still full of her charm, whimsy and unique sense of contrast and layering. Dreamy poptones blend with abstract soundworks, menace with mesmerism, loops and beats anchor otherworldy etheric excursions, electronic sound melds with acoustic warmth and is earthed by folksy colors. Kuupuu's fans will be intrigued but not upset by these latest developments, and new listeners will be converted.
Recorded between 2009-2011 in Helsinki, Finland.
Special guest appearances: Jarmo Hiltunen bass on A1, Katri Sipiläinen
bass on A3 and B4, Laura Naukkarinen Yamaha electone yc-30 on A4.
Thank you Den Nørrejyske Øs Stororkester for Opløst Mønstermusik for
