Tenhi -­ Maaäet

Is it folk? That is one thing you might ask yourself after listening to this record. Tenhi plays progressive rock with folk influences as they claim themselves. Don’t think the worst of this: no slick progrock here but atmospheric music to listen to with a mysterious touch.

The Finnish singing and subtle violin melodies create a wonderful mood. Never during this record the music is real authentic folk music. Maaäet sounds more like a very tranquil version of early My Dying Bride. But, it is a beautiful album that will please people who like relaxing melancholy music.
