HopeajÄrvi
HopeajÄrvi
Hopeajärvi is an eight-legged marvel, a symmetrical creature rigged from a piano string, dancing asymmetrically across the highest of high-wires. Imagine Trumans Water and the young Esa Saarinen inhabiting one lyrical whole, laced with meat-counter philology, and then douse it all with a criminally deceptive tunefulness: this is the sound of Hopeajärvi's self-titled debut album. But that only tells half the story; the other half is yet to be written. As the record plays out and its seven tracks worm their way into the listener's skittering memory, new phantasms will elicit old feelings: post-post-punk. As rest of the world still tries to carry on with its chores, the work of Hopeajärvi will offer a burning overview on everything else...and they shall be dancing in the streets - symmetrically and asymmetrically, expectedly and unexpectedly, like nothing you've heard before and everything you've forgotten.
