Tim: BRASS!
Tom: Bloody hell! Where? Get down!
Tim: Well, sometimes anyway, from a Finn who’s been busy on YouTube for a while now and has just been picked up by Universal; here’s her first release.
Tim: What a great track that is, with basically everything up to the musical kitchen sink thrown in there.
Tom: You’re not wrong there.
Tim: The aforementioned brass was the first thing to stick out when the chorus came in, then there were the somewhat shouty and encouraging backing vocals.
Tom: It was the sudden drum and bass-esque percussion that startled me.
Tim: The middle eight throws in a piano, brings back the electro synths from before and at the end it’s a great big triumphant pile of everything, somewhat all over the place but utterly wonderful to listen to.
Tom: Yep, that middle eight is astonishing — it sounds like a completely different song entirely, and it pulls it off brilliantly. This is really, really, rare: something that crosses genres well.
Tim: As for the lyrics, Google reckons the title translates to “Fools living in kallios” so either Kallios is a place or Google doesn’t know it.
Tom: Now, “Kallio” is bit of Helsinki, and Finnish has some very interesting word endings — but it’s defeated my knowledge.
Tim: Well, whatever it is, one repeated line is “I don’t want to love any more”, and that would be depressing if I didn’t interpret that as “…because I’m too busy making this awesome music” so I’ll do that. As I said previously: a big triumphant pile of everything, and I love it.
