After 5 years since their last release, Psychework are back with an album that is already considered among the best of 2023; “The Spark of Hope”. Storytellers of the highest order, sometimes introverted but always insightful, their lyrics are food for thought. To complement the lyrics perfectly, the band found their own personal style and musical niche to stage the stories. We had the honor to meet Antony Parviainen and J-V Hintikka after their show at Meara Klubi in Pori and talk about the latest album, gigs and much more.
