Tusk, the latest album from the Finnish alt-prog metal group Somehow Jo!, is
a new and refreshing take on the genre that charms and delights the listener
from the start. When searching for words to describe this album, ôfunö
springs to mind almost immediately. This record is chock full of funky riffs
and a wide variety of discernible influences from all corners of the musical
spectrum, whisking you track-by-track on a whirlwind journey that is hectic
yet captivating and immensely satisfying. You donÆt quite know what to expect
with each new song, and even when you think youÆve finally got a handle on
it, then comes the synth; a more than welcome addition to an album that
clearly thrives on keeping you on your toes.
Somehow Jo!Æs approach showcased here demonstrates a clever aptitude for
ensuring that their audienceÆs attention never wavers, routinely substituting
brutal guitar sections for, say, toe-tapping groove rhythms and vice versa.
Take, for example, the intro to track 8, æUnder the setting sunÆ, which kicks
off with a cheeky bit of organ that sounds like something straight out of the
classic PC game Age of Empires. On paper, it feels like this should not work
in the slightest, and yet here Somehow Jo! appears to gleefully prove
otherwise. For that, they should definitely be commended. The only downside
would be that the album appears to fly by, with so much going on and not so
much of an opportunity to stop and catch your breath at any point in the
process.
All-in-all, Tusk is a very strong new album that has been well produced and
is sure to be well received by both returning fans and fresh listeners, as
this should certainly garner some further attention and interest from anyone
unfamiliar with Somehow Jo!. The albumÆs single in particular, æ10000Æ, which
currently sits atop their most popular tracks on Spotify and acts as the
conclusion to the album, stands out a cut above the rest with its intriguing
mix of sounds, almost as a testament to Somehow Jo!Æs endearing diversity.
