Kiila is a semi-acoustic psychedelic folk-pop which was originally formed around 1997 by two friends, Niko-Matti and Sami. In the course of three years, five friends of the group joined the band. Juho Kaitajärvi, Markus Mäki, Laura Naukkarinen (aka Lau Nau), Juri Puhakka and Sami Rouhento all brought many influences with them. “The language of the songs has reverted back to Finnish, and the human voices rest on a warm texture of sounds from an array of acoustic and electronic instruments. Carefully arranged songs alternate with those improvised on the spot, all bearing the mark of a handcrafted article.” (Sami - album notes)

I think they'd be better off without vocals entirely. Good stuff though.

Silmat Sulkaset is a stunning album I'm really glad killa shifted from english to finnish. I can't understand it but it is a beautiful language.
