Scarlet Thread - Psykedeelisia Joutsenlauluja. 2003 Finland


A long time ago I wrote the following about Scarlet Thread's second album: 

Another one of those great modern Scandinavian bands with an organic, rural feel – and completely psychedelic. Scarlet Thread are a Finnish 5 piece with dual electric guitar and violin as the main solo instruments. I loved the first album and Valheista Kaunein is similar. Also features two guest players on flute, adding one more fantastic dimension. File next to the Swedish groups Grovjobb and first album Gosta Berlings Saga.

That will suffice here for their debut as well (4 piece here though). It's 34 minutes, so it's geared for the LP era, of which strangely this does not exist on that format. I find music like the kind Scarlet Thread makes timeless. I bought many albums such as this over the last 25 years. Will be interesting to see which ones have aged well. This is one of those for sure.
