"Tuota tuota is the third full-length album by
Kiila. Its songs were born of peaceful, focused
work and intense rehearsals with friends,
interspersed with sleep and mealtimes. The album
features an eight-strong core line-up but, as
always, the composition of the group varies
effortlessly according to need. At this table,
there is room for everyone.
As musical form, songs have always been important
to Kiila, and consequently Tuota tuota develops
around its songs. On the other hand, the album
consists of many details: the sound is full, the
web of instruments more varied and carefully
orchestrated than before. It is unnecessary to
separate the electronic from the non-electronic
components. Different traditions of folk and pop
music intermingle with electronic music and
improvisation, tones and sound itself. This way,
the album also poses questions about songs and
songwriting.
The motifs in the songs are not easy to render in
English, but one can at least attempt to translate
some of them: master of the house, elk antlers,
tree bark, sound of rapids, fog, letters, calves,
fingers. The list, however, doesnÆt make the songs
easier to understand in a foreign language. The
words sound archaic, anachronistic or timeless,
the language of the myth. But can they be
something else, too? And how transparent do we
want the myth to be? At the risk of sounding dull,
I suggest that the songs do speak to their age,
our age, the nature of knowledge and work, the
fluctuations of inspiration and threat.
Unfortunately, it is mostly only the Finnish-
speaking listeners who will be able to assess the
validity of this idea.
The name of the album, Tuota tuota, translates
roughly as ôwell, wellö and signifies a thinking
pause, a moment of contemplation. The language
alone is likely to give pause to an English-
speaking listener, but I hope the idea will convey
itself in more ways than just that. And a pause
for thinking is, of course, never a waste of time.
Jump right in!"
