Forest folk from the new weird Finland
2006.05.12
Our beloved Boomkat is featuring the finnish label Fonal Records along with Paavoharju, at their latest editorial. The editorial contains semi-long interviews with Es and Paavoharju, a chunk of pictures, a Fonal mix by Type Records ceo Xela, and a cool Paavoharju movie! That’s Finland for you, baby! Check out the editorial RIGHT HERE!
If you’re not familiar with Fonal Records, it’s a small finnish indie label, releasing mostly stuff that I’m not even trying to drop into categories, except, well… “good weird”, or, just “plain weird”. Most artists under Fonal are finnish, so this is a good point to start getting to know the alternative music scene of Finland. More Fonal-related information can be found at the Fonal Records website, along with a web-based pop-up jukebox that you can just leave on to play once started!
