Friends of gloomy alternative rock music had a glimmer of light amidst the darkness this January, when Lasten hautausmaa released their highly anticipated third studio album. Named simply III, the album is a continuation to the unique style and storytelling abilities of this band. Their music has influences, for example, from schlager music, the slow, deep end of rock'n'roll, and the roughness of punk. Vocalist Kristiina Vaara tells stories that don't cheer you up, but that feel all the more honest and even comforting.
Despite having multiple influences, Lasten Hautausmaa does not copy anyone, but they sound uniquely themselves. Their music takes the listener to a shadowy world of empty pints and lost hearts. One does not have to be alone in there, however, and most definitely you don’t have be alone at their gig at Ilosaarirock Festival. Come join us in the atmosphere of love and anticipation.
