And the great EvsY are back with another rockin' album of uptempo insane dance music.
If memory serves, this is album 4 from this duo and it is as slamming, funky, bouncy, and danceable as the rest of their catalog.
I'm currently hanging out in the lovely (lol) Philadelphia airport and have a few hours to kill before my connecting flight. While sitting here, I decided to finally give this album a listen and try to bust out a review. We'll see if I can manage to do this. I think I need a drink. LoL.
If you're familiar with previous Eraser vs. Yöjalka albums and tracks, you have a good idea of what to expect. If you are not familiar with their previous albums, you should fix that. Also, here is what to expect: quick snappy pacing and tempos, nice nice nice bass lines, melodies that are sometimes super cheesy and stringy, other times more subtle and in the back of the mix, percussion that skips and frolics about, and an overall sense of warming, unusual and complex psychedelia.
In a lot of ways, this is the perfect soundtrack for sitting at this airport, in this weird rocking chair, while watching everyone pass by. Everyone is on a mission to go somewhere and a good number of them are walking with a sense of purpose. Most are happy, some are confused, a few seem tired and burnt out. Kind of like this album. It is happy and upbeat, but fast and confusing. It can exhaust you at times, but the exhaustion is a good exhaustion, as it is an exhaustion founded upon travels and journeys and new experiences.
While this album feels like a proper Eraser vs. Yöjalka album, it doesn't feel rehashed or uninspired. This isn't cookie-cutter GMS psychedelic trance music. This album feels as if it were written with a very specific purpose in mind. That of making you sweat. Preferably in a forest. I kind of wish I was still at **GO4 P4RTY 4** right now, as that would be a great place to be blasting this album. Instead I am simply in this airport. With shitty headphones on. If this album is this massive sounding on these headphones, it will be even more massive on a real sound system. Hells yeahs.
So that's about it.
This album rules. It has nicely kept me company while killing many hours at an airport and I can't wait to listen to it when at a place I am allowed to dance at too.

I am so excited about this album I'm going to be spilling my joy out in this thread whenever I listen to it. I'll go track by track when I can.
Track 1:Uus Avaruus. That, my dear friends, is a real bassline! Funky, round, rolling, snappy and REAL. When I heard this track the first thing I did was reach for my bass (not synth!) and learn that riff.
The bassline, rhythm and A-minor melody drives this amping track. Great morning energy sure to get everyone jumping in elation, laughing, dancing, water spraying, wet t-shirts on a beautiful sunny morning...!

Track 2: A Finn Hits The Fan.
Pick up the bass again, cos here's another ballsy, funky, snappy bassline. The bass carries a great funky disco riff on this track, layered with bright ribbons of goodness that you just can't help but dance to. I love it when the sneaky guitarish part comes in and steals the bass to go off on a naughty heavy groove for several measures, taking you down a dark alley with swooshes of sounds around you... then pushes you back in the sunlight to the original funky disco fun it started with. Good times!

I'm so proud I finally have this album!
So nobody said about the cover art. I think is great and funny and very cartoonish.
By the way do you guys play heroes? with this dancing trees?
My fav tunes are more than half so is a very good album. the last song is apoteotic?!
Thanks EvsY for this album
