Husky Rescue

After a brief hiatus, I return with Finland's very own Husky Rescue. I've been listening A LOT to their latest album "Ship of Light" which was just released at the end of January. It is their third album, and definitely their best. It mixes their grand cinematic qualities with even more of a straight forward pop approach. Add a dash of pace to that formula and voila, greatness!! Mind you, they don't completely ditch their love of experimenting, as we hear on a couple of the instrumental tracks, and not everything is brought up to a dancey pace (see: The hushed and lovely opening of "Wolf Trap Motel").
Moving it all along, lead singer Reeta-Leena Korhola has a very nice voice, that I can best describe as a coo. It's never overpowering and suits the cinematic quality of their music perfectly. The boys add some great múm-like harmonies here and there.

I recommend all of their albums, but think "Ship of Light" may be the most inviting for new listeners. The excellent lead off single "We Shall Burn Bright" is available for free download at their website above.
Or try out a couple of my other favourites:

Man of Stone
&
Sound of Love


Also, from their older albums, to give you a better sense of the band:

Summertime Cowboy (from "Country Falls" 2004)
&
Hurricane (Don't Come Knocking) (from "Ghost Is Not Real" 2007)

Enjoy!
