What's this we have? A photo booklet with Keijo's 'Carry On With Us' CD attached on New Zealand label Pseudo Arcana. This is some intriguing shamanic percussion and improvised weirdness recorded 2006-2007 in Finland. This is mainly percussion based with lots of metallic sounds. It's all quite earthy sounding. The press for this quite rightly points out that it occasionally wanders into Jandek style atonality. Things hot up a bit with electric organ, guitar, drums, guimabard and field recordings all playing their respective parts I get a kind of old blues vibe coming off it at times.Keijo -'Carry On With Us' cdr/book.
Latest missive from Finlands motorcycle crazed improvising drone shaman. 'Carry On With Us' features extended percussion rites and long sections of uber-blues guitar. In some ways this is a challenging record with Keijo veering into Jandek like atonality at times. But there are also moments of lush sublime beauty.
Overall it reflects honesty and frankness. Sure signs of 'true' magic..?
Packaged in a high quality 12 page book of photos and collage works by Keijo.
