Comment: this handful of tracks is a sequent issue by the Finnish forest folk artist Violeta Päivankakkara. And once again, her intimate songwriting is worth to be appreciated and praised. More profoundly, she conjures up dreamy impressions based on halcyon guitar fingerpicks and some lofty arpeggios which in turn are embellished with idiosyncratic, highly suggestive chant and singing blended vocal expressions and glockenspiel touches. The issue will be ended up by a clockwork toy-based interlude. Of course, there can be drawn parallels upon the likes of Lau Nau, Keijo, Paavoharju, Islaja, Kuupuu.
