Lau Nau... oh boy, what a sound. sparkling and crisp, rich with humming drones and vibrating voices, this is some of the most lovely folk music you could ever want. at times sparse, other times overflowing with sound, this ice princess will make you swoon over her tiny voice and delicate folk sensibilities. it makes me wish i could speak finnish, really.
this album, "Kuutartha," is chock full of lovely songs that are unlike some of her fellow finnish free-folkers because she relies much less on noise and random instrumentation and sticks to a more "traditional" approach. that's not to say these are traditional folk songs at all, you just don't find a wall of electronics and reverbed voices populating every song like you would with, say, Kuupuu or Islaja.
oh, and she's also played with such groups as Kiila, Avarus, Anaksimandros, Paivansade, Rauhan Orkestari, is married to one of the Tolvi brothers, and is one of the members of the awesome trio Herta Lussa Assa (with Kuupuu and Islaja, a dream trio if you ask me!)
totally great finnish free-folk that will warm your heart on cold days.
