Our Take

KA BAIRD & PEKKA AIRAKSINEN: Frkwys Vol.17: Hungry Shells

8.2/10

The latest installment of the Frkwys series brings together the utterly unique talents of KA BAIRD and Pekka Airaksinen. Baird, known for her work with avant-garde group Spires That in The Sunset Rise, and Airaksinen, a pioneer in electronic music, create a mesmerising blend of experimental sounds on "Hungry Shells."

From the moment the album kicks off with the pulsating rhythms of "Hyönteishotelli," you know you're in for a wild ride. Baird's haunting vocals soar over Airaksinen's intricate electronic textures, creating a sonic landscape that is both ethereal and otherworldly.

Tracks like "Storms" and "Hotel Chelsea" showcase the duo's ability to seamlessly blend traditional instrumentation with electronic elements, creating a sound that is both familiar and completely new. It's this juxtaposition of the old and the new that makes "Hungry Shells" such a compelling listen.

While the album may not be for everyone, those willing to take the plunge will be rewarded with a truly immersive musical experience. Baird and Airaksinen have crafted a truly unique album that pushes the boundaries of experimental music in all the right ways. Dive in and let "Hungry Shells" wash over you. Trust us, you won't regret it.
