More Long Lost Honkers And Twangers

Since the original Long Lost Friend recording, Johanna Kalén has left the band for health reasons, and the second CD here contains Husky Rescue's most recent work, the duo of Nyberg and Bentley. In music that's always engaging, melodic and lyrical, Husky Rescue work with abstract ideas. The beguiling, cinematic musical landscapes and delicate emotional stories of Husky Rescue evoke freedom, and their imagined spaces are where opposites meet: in their songs, the city meets the countryside, the folk purity of the human voice meets the intricate beats of electronica; and on the second CD of Hypnopompic tracks that accompanied an exhibition of contemporary artist and long-standing Husky Rescue collaborator Kustaa Saksi, sleeping meets wakefulness.
