Teljättäret - Pekka Santalan Teksteihin

Review by Svetlozar Stanev

Teljättäret's latest album, Pekka Santalan Teksteihin, is a captivating blend of traditional Finnish folk music and modern sounds. The album features 11 tracks, each based on the lyrics of Pekka Santala, a renowned Finnish poet.

From the opening track, "Karhunpyynti," the listener is transported to the Finnish wilderness with the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Teljättäret. The use of traditional instruments such as the kantele and accordion, combined with modern electronic beats, creates a unique sound that is both traditional and contemporary.

The album showcases Teljättäret's impressive vocal range, with each member taking on lead vocals at different points throughout the album. The harmonies are tight and the arrangements are complex, making for a dynamic listening experience.

Standout tracks include "Pohjalaisen Laulu," a haunting ballad with a driving beat, and "Koskenlaskijan Morsiamet," a lively dance tune with intricate vocal harmonies.
