Bleep

Finnish experimental artist Tomutonttu makes a return to Alter with the exotica charged electronica of Kevätjuhla, coming seven years since he dropped a split 7" with 0PN.

Having rolled out the cassette album Trarat in 2016, Kevätjuhla sees Tomutonttu expanding on the ideas sketched out for that side on Leaving Records whilst crafting out his most journeying vision yet. Across its eleven track duration, Kevätjuhla takes in passages of casio-tone synthesis that move between slowed down passages and more upbeat bubbling rhythms as found on Kuteen valoon III - Jatkot taivaanrannassa through to swirling digi-dub psychedelia of Kuinka voin auttaa.

It's a thoroughly absorbing affair throughout, and the range of sounds and styles displayed portrays a wonderful drink till your dizzy mix of laid back funk infused Balearic vibes that will slot perfectly between your Raphael Top Secret & Nelson Bishop, The Mystic Jungle Tribe & DJ Sotofett 12"s.

Buzzin' on all fronts.
