Some great news for Palimpsest Festival....
KIILA CONFIRMED FOR PALIMPSEST
Harvest Time is very please to announce Kiila are to play Palimpsest. This will be their first English show ever! Kiila recently featured in The Wire on the extended 'Sub-Arctic Explorers' article based upon the Finnish underground music scene. Here is what Fonal Records have to say about the latest Kiila record:
'On the new album Silmät sulkaset, the band gently conjures up mildly otherworldly tunes with a peaceful air and feathered eyes. What was once free pop played by two is now free folk played by seven. The language of the songs has reverted back to Finnish, and the human voices rest on a warm texture of sounds from an array of acoustic and electronic instruments. Carefully arranged songs alternate with those improvised on the spot, all bearing the mark of a handcrafted article'.
For Palimpsest, Kiila will be playing a specially stripped down show.
In addition to the Harvest Time Records stall, there will now also be a stall from the prevalent underground Finnish label Fonal with releases by artists such as Kemialliset Ystavat and Isjala
