Cats of Transnistria - Aligning (2019) EN


The dreamlike Cats of Transnistria are regular guests on the blog so I won't digress on whether or not there are in fact cats in Transnistria. The most important is that the Finns couldn't get left out after they released the new album called Aligning .

The band rom the North's style didn't changed much through the years. This is the next instance of dealing with Tuomas Alatalo's gloomy guitar compositions that are closer to some experimental bluesmen like Brother Grimm that to "normal" pop/rocks. Secondly, the airy and at the same time emotional vocals by Henna Emilia Hietamäki plus the super climatic violins from Sanna Komi.

Another characteristic trait of their music are long, never-in-hurry and always poignant compositions like the single track Mountain High. This music could perhaps be defined as instrumental version of the ambient Grouper-esque pop with a huge deal of the Scandinavian melancholy (just try to listen to The Light and not get teary).

Check: The Light
