Finnish dark folk band Tenhi aims to spellbind the audience with the cathartic acoustic composition of the first record in 12 years entitled “Valkama”.
“Saattue” takes you far away from the modern world with the enchanting power of the mellow acoustic crescendos and the monochromatic vocal delivery surrounded by soothing atmospheric waves.
Throughout the title track intricate guitar melodies flourish within an elegant atmospheric ensemble creating peaceful soundscapes.
“Laineinen” evokes immense melancholia through the darkened allure of the acoustic phrases and the classical violin.
“Hele” constantly maintains a somber folk mood and the poetic piano & violin melodies ultimately enhance a palpable dramatic depth.
“Ulapoi” belongs to an ancestral realm featuring a perfect combo of crestfallen melodic guitars and magical violin movements that emphasizes contemplative themes.
“Elokuun linnut” moves the listeners with the sheer beauty of nostalgic piano melodies floating gently through dreamy atmospheric arrangements.
“Aina sininen aina” focuses on otherworldly chants and recurring graceful piano harmonies while the thick bass lines & drums meticulously build slow burning rhythmic patterns.
As Tenhi fully embrace a cinematic songwriting approach “Valkama” symbolizes a spiritual journey through the frozen landscapes of the Land of the Thousand Lakes.
