JPP - String Tease album
In a way, this does make String Tease almost a Finnish easy-listening album - you're saved, perhaps thankfully, by the fact that quite a bit of this music does generate a distinct urge in the legs and feet. For some, if the music inspires dancing that stimulates the cardiovascular system, then it is by no stretch of the imagination any kind of easy-listening record.
JPP. Hale-Bopp, 04:10.
String Tease not only features the usual contingent of three to five fiddles, but also adds the JPP String Orchestra on a number of cuts for a rich full-chamber sound. This record also marks a departure for the band, as they collaborate with the Swedish folk-pop band Väsen on a few tracks, adding guitar, nyckelharpa, and percussion to their usual string sound in some great new tunes. This is the best record the band has made to date and a major accomplishment for the Finnish new folk scene.
