"After some side quests and single releases it's time for a release with multiple original tracks. All three tracks tell a story in their own "world" genre-wise, but they are still tied together nicely with our distinctive sound creating an eventful listening experience.

As usual, our music develops patiently making it perfect for relaxing and letting your train of thought roam around freely. On the other hand, we have put a lot of effort in details to make relistening these multiple times interesting for curious and careful ears.

"Elegy" is a bittersweet, 80s influenced electronic ballad with emotional and tender guitars building up to dramatic synth leads. "Night Bazaar Odyssey" is a psychedelic journey through several scenes of hectic bazaar of outlandish sounds and melodies. The release finishes with "Dubzlin Bliss", smooth, balearic slow trance dissolving to a long, dreamy middle part and finally waking up to feel good vibes.

Big thanks to glxblt (Ville Rastas) for visiting our session weekend and adding some spice to the first and third tracks. We really do enjoy combination of organic playing and electronic elements, best from both worlds.
Thanks to Antti's sister, Anu Viitala, for the violin part in Night Bazaar Odyssey.

-Antti & Jarno / SK"
