"UTON/HRVÑ
IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE MUSICIANS OF THE
FINNISH UNDERGROUND SCENE THAT HAS RECENTLY
PRESENTED US THE LIKES OF KUUPUU, KEMIALLISET
YSTÄVÄT, ISLAJA, PAAVOHARJU AND
LAU NAU AND A SEEMINGLY NEVER-ENDING STREAM
OF BEAUTIFUL AND HIGHLY ORIGINAL RECORD
RELEASES. THE MUSIC OF UTON IS NO EXCEPTION
THERE, DRAWING INSPIRATIONS FROM PSYCHEDELIA
TO FREE JAZZ TO PURE ECSTATIC DRONES AND
NOISES USING A WIDE RANGE OF ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS
FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF THE GLOBE AND A BULK
OF ELECTRONICS. RECORDED IN GLORIOUS LO-FI
THE MYSTERY OF HIRVONEN'S SOUND IS DIFFICULT
TO PINPOINT; SHEER RAVISHING BEAUTY, ELEGANCY
AND VARIEGATION IS STASHED BEHIND A WALL
OF GREY, INSCRUTABLE HAZE - GORGEOUS MELODIES
AND VOICES, REEDS AND ALIEN SOUNDS GLEAMING
THROUGH THE MIST FROM TIME TO TIME, SHIMMERING
LIKE DIAMONDS THROUGH LAYERS OF DUST"
