Our Take

The new album from KEMIALLISET YSTAVAT, "Alkuharkain," is a whimsical journey through the outer reaches of experimental electronica. This Finnish collective has been pushing boundaries and challenging norms for years, and their latest offering is no exception.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, you are transported to a world where nothing is off limits and everything is fair game. The glitchy beats and warped samples create a sense of disorientation that is both thrilling and unsettling.

Throughout the album, KEMIALLISET YSTAVAT showcase their mastery of layering sounds and textures, creating a sonic landscape that is as complex as it is captivating. There are moments of pure chaos, where the cacophony threatens to overwhelm, but just when you think you can't take any more, they pull you back in with a delicate melody or a subtle shift in tone.

Tracks like "Hämärän Tanssit" and "Kosolti Kuorelisin" showcase the group's ability to blend organic instrumentation with glitchy electronics, creating a sound that is at once familiar and alien. It's like listening to a symphony being played by robots on psychedelics.

Overall, "Alkuharkain" is a wild ride that is not for the faint of heart. But for those willing to take the plunge, it offers a truly unique listening experience that is as challenging as it is rewarding. KEMIALLISET YSTAVAT have once again proven that they are masters of their craft, and this album is a testament to their creativity and innovation.
