Everyone has a place they revisit in their thought although there’s this painful certainty that they will never come back there. For me this place is Tampere, Finland - a city from which Kati, Sauli, Juuso and Jukka, or Mumrunner, come from. And since their shoegaze anthem “Gentle Slopes” from the EP with the same title matches this feeling completely, it is with me very often lately.
There’s a lot of ocean in this track and, although Tampere is not a coastal city, there’s a reason behind that. The city is located between two huge lakes which may make you feel that you’re on a lonely island somewhere in the middle of the ocean. And the smell and the view of Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi is very tangible in this swaying and melancholic song. “Face against the rain, unafraid it will wash away / ‘Cause your pretty face, in photos it will remain” - it’s definitely one of my favourites of this year. The songs before “gentle Slopes” are pop hits played on dirt and delicate vocals, sounding similar to The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart but I don’t think that the Americans would say that they’re inspired by “beer, low humor and b movies.
“The Tampere, Finland based band love to play loud but never forsake an interest in subtler dynamics”, they combine alternative rock with dreampop soundscapes and they do it so well that they became one of those Finnish bands that have to be closely looked into. And it may be possible since they’ll be playing in Berlin and Praha in January.
“Gentle Slopes” can be bought for only 3 EUR.
