Bar Loose, Helsinki – March 9th 2023

Weekdays are a struggle for sure. That's why we're extra thankful to everyone who came out and partied with us tonight at Bar Loose in downtown Helsinki!

On Monday we were informed Motion…

So the funnest thing about playing shows is meeting new people. No big secret there. It gets especially fun though if you meet parts of your audience on the street days before the show walking home from band rehearsals. I'm…

It’s crazy to think this album was a total accident! But that’s what it was. Back in late 2019 Tomppa had just joined the band and we’d sifted through about 30 songs I’d demoed, to choose around a dozen to…

These structures probably look the same wherever you go in the world. Somewhere between a cheap motel and a road side diner, these one story buildings sprung up everywhere in Finland in the 70’s and 80’s. And because we didn’t…

I guess I wanted to create one version of ”the perfect album closer” with this track. Slow but steady build to a cathartic release of emotion and power and a quiet haunting outro. For some reason it reminds me of…

Conversations with an Algorithm is actually what the album was meant to be called before I came up with the term ”botify” (only to later learn I wasn’t the first one at all). This is the second track on the…

This song is about burnout, plain and simple. The chorus has your colleagues wondering ”Oh, my word, but the boy is dead!” when you finally break down from exhaustion – while you probably could’ve used their help earlier as stated…

Sometimes you really don’t know which songs are going to be singles from an album – which songs are going to be the ones you use to tell people about the album, and which ones to make music videos of…

I never meant to write a whole album on the effect Big Tech and Big Data have on our lives. I just remember reading this article (Music Ally) in late 2020, getting up from my seat, taking deep breaths and…
