KEIJO - Palla, Blown From Here

Keijo hails from Jyväskylä, Finland - a small town in the north that claims to be the center of the universe. -Ç In the sprawling Finnish underground, Keijo is the wise sage who everyone admires. -Ç In his 52 years, he has travelled the world twice and seen his share of turmoil. -Ç He was nearly killed in a motorcycle accident and still bears a metal plate in his skull as a constant reminder. -Ç But these experiences have been essential in shaping the sound world he constructs with his fingertips. After releasing a handful of small-run CD-R releases on labels such as Pseudoarcana, Lal Lal Lal, and Foxglove, Palla, Blown From Here sees Keijo finally getting the larger audience he deserves. -Ç He has -Ç worked and collaborated with Finnish acts such as Vapaa, Avarus, and Kheta Hotem. -Ç This CD, limited to 500 copies, sees Keijo taking a more solemn path, reflecting on the quiet moments nature brings. -Ç These nine songs showcase Keijos array of talents, including his impressive throat-singing abilities. -Ç Palla, Blown From Here is the aural transition of summer into autumn. -Ç Over the course of this album, Keijos soft acoustic compositions flow from him like prose from a poets pen. -Ç The beauty this music exudes is a testament to his life and his work. -Ç This is Keijos world and we are just living in it. Packaged in beautiful imported paper in slip case. - Digitalis.
