I'm totally fascinated with the new album, Ullakkopalo
, by Finnish project/band Kemialliset Ystävät which I discovered through Yer Sweet Chimneys.Kemialliset Ystävät use instruments from flea markets and second hand stores and create music that sounds like how an orcheastra would sound during its instruments tune up.
Their new album's cover art is as complex and hypnotic as their music. Designed by Brenna Murphy and Jan Anderzen (of KY), the cover features a fantastic collage so rich with details it spellbinds you into a magical, imaginative world.

Funny to see someone like this here, who you just met last night. A bit surreal, but it makes this world a bit smaller.
