ôMaaΣetö is ôthe sweet, sweet sound of Scandinavian sorrow. An ideal
soundtrack for cold winter evenings!
The new album "MaaΣet" will be available at February 10th, 2006. There
have been comfortingly few changes in Tenhi since their last album
"VΣre"; this Finnish band is still performing its unique brand of
nature music, music that is above all atmospheric and touching.
But there's a lot more to it: for years now, the musicians have been
stressing the meaning of the aesthetics beyond their compositions, as
Tenhi is meant to be a reflection of their sensitive perception of
nature, not only in sound, but also in lyrics and pictures. Maybe a
pictorial comparison can help to understand Tenhi's development. "Our
new songs are run through by our perception of the Earth," multi
-instrumentalist Tyko Saarikko tells us. "Our gaze isn't directed
towards the horizon anymore, but towards the soil beneath our feet and
the nature in our immediate surroundings." Musically, vocals, piano,
and violin are clearly mixed to the fore, giving "MaaΣet" a more
immediate expression. This picturesque character is mirrored in
symbolic images that have been specifically created for the twelve new
tracks, adding a fairy-tale quality to the whole work of art. "This
album is much more personal, much darker than its predecessors," says
the versatile musician who associates "MaaΣet" with "the smell of a
forest ground covered in autumn leaves". The band allows single
melodies enough space to unfold a deep capacity for fascination,
dismissing all superficial questions of styles or genres. The Finnish
lyrics are also very profound, weaving around motifs such as retreat,
vulnerability, esoteric moods, and nature mysticism.
Whatever name you'd like to put on Tenhi's manifold creative
undertakings -- the band members themselves describe it as Folk
-influenced progressive music --, with "MaaΣet", they succeeded in
crafting a warm-hearted deepening of their music.
