May 2010: Leave It All Again (feat. Bääbs)
Leave It All Again (feat. Bääbs) (mp3, 128kbps)
Listen:
Boo-ya!
What combines Kate Bush, Faith No More's Evidence, Phil Collins, Jan Hammer, 2. Maanantai and contemporary R n' B music?
Our new track, that's what.
Of course you might not hear all those influences right off the bat. This month has really yet again proved two things:
a) A song can go through several quite dramatic fits of metamorphosis during the course of 1 month.
b) The influences a creator tries to convey can be pretty different than the ones a listener will invariably interpret.
What do you hear in this track?
We do have on piece of explanation to do. You may notice from the track that Riku ain't singing. For 13 months already we've been able to work pretty unhindered by any unforeseeable setbacks. This month however Riku managed to lose his voice in the latter half of the month, so we had to nudge his role down to "smoky-voiced ethereal pseudo-rapper" and let the ever-so-wonderful BÄÄBS do the singing. It was a pretty natural thing as we already made her Eurovision Song Contest entry last year and you can actually hear her on one previous Viola Music Club track as well. Try to guess which one!
Anyways, as always: please let us know what you think of this track! We love hearing from you how you think we're doing. I know there's a long way down from the mountains of metal, but we'll do our best to kick ourselves back into gear with plain-old Viola-stuff. Whatever that means...
Tämä on kyllä ihan mieletön
Tämä on kyllä ihan mieletön korvamato. Silleen hyvällä tavalla. Tyylikäs biisi, tämän vuoden parhaimmistoa.
Whoa! I'm awestruck again. I
Whoa! I'm awestruck again. I especially like the lyrics here. Very encouraging and energizing. The words fit very well in the song's atmosphere.
It's also very refreshing to hear Bääbs singing. Riku does a very good job with the rhythmical lyrics as well.
As I said before, you should keep on experimenting - it seems to yield some really good results. Maybe an unheard guest vocalist could feature on a new track?
I hear a bits of Röyksopp, Regina and Pet Shop Boys in this.
This ain't no "plain-old Viola stuff". This is "top-of-the-line Viola stuff". You've once again beat yourselves.
Komeeta, sliikkii ja voi että
