Valo Siroutuu (The Light Scatters) is a collaborative song cycle written on and for the island of Kimitoön, home to Finnish artist Lau Nau. Incorporating in-situ field recordings, impromptu outdoor songwriting, contemplative and patient chamber arrangements, and lyrics delivered both in Finnish and English, the album thematically pursues observations of and meditations on place, time, nature, home, play, and language. Less a record of songs and more a continued, braided rope of ephemeral moments and turbid musical events, this work exists in a suspended dream or flow state, billowing up momentarily like wind breezing through spruce leaves or cresting over like the initial breaking waves of an oncoming high tide, yet always eventually rippling out back into quietude and solace like the patient floating fractures of light scattered across water's surface. RIYL: Juliana Barwick, Volcano Choir, Grouper, Amiina, The Album Leaf, Microphones, Múm, El Perro Del Mar, Sigur Ros, Kemialliset Ystävät. "A travelogue of sound" --Drifting, Almost Falling
