Avarus

Avarus is a free folk and improvising group formed in Tampere, Finland, in 2001 by members of The Anaksimandros and Pylon. Its loose line-up has counted up to twenty players, and its music moves between drone, psychedelic folk and space rock with krautrock-style rhythms. The group belongs to the Finnish psychedelic folk scene that emerged in the early 2000s. Avarus drew in musicians from Kiila, Kemialliset Ystävät and Munuaissymposium 1960, along with Lau Nau, Islaja and Kuupuu.
