IN SLUMBERLAND [LP] (GREEN VINYL, IMPORT)

Malibu Beach (music & lyrics Pekka Laine) Mixed by V?in? Karjalainen Produced by Toni Liimatta, Pekka Laine & V?in? Karjalainen Cosmic Twang, Singing Robot and Underwater Disco In a dream I heard music with a strange bubbling sound. People were dancing to it in a surreal, cavernous space. What is this, I asked. One of the dancers stopped and answered. Its an underwater disco. In the morning, I grabbed my guitar and tried to recall what I had heard. Those foggy fragments became Malibu Beach. For Pekka Laine, the twang of an electric guitar is not a warm blanket of nostalgia. Instead, the echoing sound usually associated with surf and retro instrumentals is a ticket to the imaginary. Malibu Beach is the first glimpse of the follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut, The Enchanted Guitar of Pekka Laine. On this sonic journey, Laine is joined by The Enchanted, his powerhouse live band that has taken both festival and club stages by storm. Pekka Laine and his trusty space-age guitar take the listener to a place where a futuristic and humid disco sound, perfect with obese beats and robotic vocals, reigns supreme. Trippy vocoder vocals and Moog wizardry are provided by Antti Vuorenmaa, the synth sensei associated with several leading Finnish indie bands and a trusted member of the extended Enchanted family.
