4...according to our Phil on Thu 22 Oct, 2009.

There's a couple of CD's in this week on Under The Spire. The one in my sweaty hand is by Ous Mal and it's called Viime Talvi. I know nothing about this guy/gal at all. It's limited to 100 copies in one of those cardboardy arigato packs all hand numbered and whatnot, very nice. The music is lush electronic ambience with a cool throbbing bassline and a weird ghostly sounds in the background. There's also some nice piano-y thing which seems to randomly appear at the right time... It's very busy sounding with lots of different noises and things going on yet it doesn't sound over cluttered. Some nice electro acoustic stuff going on in there too. I'd be interested in hearing more of this guy/gal/whoever....

"Viime Talvi was recorded in bedroom studio in Helsinki, Finland,
during the last days of winter and first days of spring. It contains
six songs buried in a sea of hiss and crackle. It was recorded mostly
alone and sometimes with friends, and you can hear a spectrum of
instruments containing the cello, various wind instruments, a singing
saw and percussion made from branches.

Viime Talvi released in hand inkstamped, embossed & numbered 4 Panel wallets from Stumptown Printers in a run of 100 copies only.
