KUUPUU~LUMEN TÄHDEN-TIME-LAG~NEW CD
KUUPUU ~ LUMEN TÄHDEN ~ NEW CD (TIME-LAG 044)

digital version packaged in a miniature laminated lp style gatefold cover. edition of 1000.

perfect for recommended extended repeat listening¿ although finlander jonna karanka has been slowly leaking out little kuupuu jewels for six years now, somehow it¿s taken just that long to materialize her first ¿proper¿ album. maybe it has something to do with the time she¿s devoted to her beautiful artwork, or her time spent in a highly impressive string of other bands, included HERTTA LUSSU ASSA (with ISLAJA and LAU NAU), ANAKSIMANDOS, AVARUS, and many others¿ but, you know, i always figured kuupuu music didn¿t have much to do with ¿time¿ anyway. it¿s music from another reality, to put it bluntly. a beautiful place no doubt, but somehow totally other. you could call this music a lot of things, all without really saying much¿ post-everything? pre-birth folk? bedtime acid-art? naive avant-garde loop witchcraft? maybe something like a thousand memories & vague images folded into each other and spooled out infinitely like a sloppy film loop¿ the sound of tiny bioluminescent insects systematically devouring an urban cityscape in hyper-speed, while just as quickly slithering neon flora entwine the metallic gray remains, only to then be gobbled themselves by a leaderless army of pulsating micro-robots. got that? now play backwards in slow motion¿ surreal might just be an understatement¿
