Minor Musics: Finland – Kemialliset Ystävät November 6, 2010

ISSUE’s third installment of Minor Musics: Finland features a rare live Kemialliset Ystävät performance with New York collaborators. Kemialliset Ystävät is an ever-changing group of free-form pilots who have been sending murky audio clouds from their basement in Tampere, Finland, to the people of the world since 1995. They work in short, spooling instrumentals, building layers of simple repetitive riffs into laminal mudcakes and weaving ghosts of noise songs into huge tunnels of drone. They utilize a wide spectrum of moldy acoustic instruments and almost broken electronics to create their joyful blasts but the recording studio itself might be their single most important instrument. Kemialliset Ystävät discography includes CDs, vinyl records, cassettes and lathe cuts on Fonal, Fusetron, Beta-Lactam Ring, Lal Lal Lal, Jewelled Antler, Celebrate Psi Phenomenom and other revolutionary labels around the world. Members of Kemialliset Ystävät are involved with other projects such as The Anaksimandros, Avarus, Islaja, Kiila, Es and Päivänsäde.
