"More mysterious electro-acoustic Finnish psych-folk. Dont hear too many lyrics on this one, but as would be expected, the titles are all in the native tongue, so Im not sure whats going on. But as with Kemialliset Ystavat and similar artists, theres a playful mix of broken-sounding synths, acoustic instruments, bird calls, small percussion, and plenty of other exotic sounds.
For whatever reason, side 2 grabbed me a lot more than the first. I think its a little more straightforward, rhythmically, and theres also more of a Boards Of Canada distorted childhood memory vibe to it. Its quite pretty. As a whole, though, the album isnt quite as energetic, schizophrenic or densely constructed as Kemialliset Ystavat, but its definitely worth checking out if youre into that style." - Paul Simpson, Foxy Digitalis.

"Decay and copulation rites flourish around a trash raft that fish take for a coral reef. The sun blinds your eyes, but you can see a figure there... And in the desert, wind, erosion and echoes work the surroundings of Poly Styrenes ex-hang-out, an oasis filled with lively people and empty beer cans. Ornamental carpets and fresh water, too. There it is again! Its Tsembla playing her modified samples, strings, reeds, percussion and the whole range of modern psych instruments to create fiestas with strong twists of pop music. Sounds old and new and like nothing youve ever heard before."
