Album Notes & Community Reviews

Aslak Tolonen's mesmerizing neofolk project heavily utilizes the traditional Finnish kantele to construct sweeping, forest-inspired acoustic soundscapes. Free from vocals or percussion, the incredibly tranquil album serves as a meditative, deeply atmospheric immersion into Nordic mythological aesthetics.
