KIVIRANTA


What is this? I mean.....incredible, obviously - but how does one describe Finland's KIVIRANTA? Stark, cold, sharp punk that lands somewhere between 1982 CHAOS Z and 2002 FRANZ FERDINAND, but also kinda like a primitive JOY DIVISION. The duo is backed by a drum machine, and everything is fronted in midrange nasal Finnish, which just makes it all sound more...well, just more. Only five tracks here....but folks, I am completely sold.
