Wed 11th Furthur presents HUSKY RESCUE + Manilla + LJ Kruzer
Doors 7.30 "A gorgeous confection of folksy instrumentals and sweeping, ambient electronica." [The Observer] As clear as icewater, as dazzling as the Aurora Borealis, as jolting as a splash in the face from a Finnish lake; the music of Husky Rescue is more than capable of refreshing even the most jaded palate. Helsinki's all-round musical magus Marko Nyberg and sensual vocalist Reeta-Leena Korhola lead the Husky Rescue charge whilst the full live band now includes Miika Colliander on guitar, Ville Riippa on keyboards and Anssi Sopanen on drums. "A joyous clash of electronica and folk. You are advised to enter this joyous snow-capped Bontempi world immediately." [The Guardian] Touched by the chilly majesty of their homeland, and much more besides, the band describes their influences as being 'the magical moment' and mood in movies. David Lynch, Lars von Trier, Wim Wenders, Lukas Moodysson, Russ Meyer, Scandinavian architecture, Erik Satie, the airy lushness of French impressionism and Philip Glass, the sound of Arvo Part, warm and honest country music and a lot of other things in pop culture (such as) graphic design and photography. "Otherworldly and extremely accessible, a wickedly winning combination." Mixmag Having made a name for themselves with their critically acclaimed debut LP 'Country Falls', Husky Rescue are back with a new collection of mesmerising folktronica set for release in January and a single and a handful of rare UK performances to precede this in October.
