Double feature stint on Kashual Plastik. Twofold recreational Nordic spice, cultivated for dreamy solitude escapades and meditative tune voyages in witchcraft mood. Side A comes from Finnish experimental musician Juho Toivonen, shaped in his home in the city of Pori. A veiled minimalistic dream of gentle noise loops and environmental sounds, meeting a desiring voice that echoes haunting, mantra-like lyrics. Ship horns and other slow mechanic found sounds convoy it into eternity, while we, the auditors, travel along, occupied by a gloomy cloud of folky industrial. It brings the air of a small part of the world, Finland’s west coast, on the Gulf of Bothnia. It’s atmosphere waves right into your stereo, letting the spirit sail into ocean of sound, unconditionally navigating without rough streams. 

Side B is equally meditative. Produced by Civilistjavel!, Sweden’s experimental ambient sculpturer from Uppsala. His inducing adventure starts with Gas-like ambient drones, softly introspecting around a sparse rhythmic architecture. It morphs into a noisy synth tones driven sound play, that transfers the emotions of early electronic poets like Daphne Oram into a haze of shady throbbing modern-day drones. Another melancholic act that seizes intensely. Another trip, that soundtracks our fragile, labile times, translating uncertainties into an ambient audio drama, that spreads hopeful light in its melodic flashes. At the final we wane into summer, disappearing in the sedative spirit of a day on grassland, as the agitated everyday fades away.
