About Musta
Amazon.com Musta is the Finnish word for "black," and there are some dark moods on this solo album by one of Hedningarna's singers. Kurki-Suonio injects the feel of ancient folk to the music, and her voice echoes with snowfields and pine trees--at times she sounds eerily witchy. But it's the mix of acoustic instruments with electronics that sets this record apart--beats, loops, and ambience combine with kantele or accordion to offer a new hybrid for the future. "The Cloud Maiden," epic in spirit, is the perfect example of Kurki-Suonio's style, a journey of sound--and space. As good as so much of the new Scandinavian music has been, Musta raises the standard. --Chris Nickson
