Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving after an extensive twelve-year hiatus, the Finnish ensemble continues to explore the solemn, deeply atmospheric realms of Nordic folk music. Translating to 'Harbour' or 'Shelter', the album relies on stark piano, delicate acoustic guitars, and mournful choral arrangements to evoke the isolating, frozen beauty of the Scandinavian wilderness.
