TV-Resistori, the flagship of Finnish indie-pop, finally present their third album, which has been under construction since 2007. The album fuses a broad array of influences into one seamless entity, appealing to aficionados of American roots music and modern indie kids digging Jenny Wilson or Belle And Sebastian. The beautiful vocal harmonies of Päivi and Ykä (the singer-songwriter of the group) flourish, while the cheap bubblegum keyboards have been mostly exchanged for warm, acoustic sounds from upright piano, to banjos or drums made out of suitcases. Although these mature, timeless songs lean towards Finnish schlager, Motown or even country music, it doesn't mean things have gotten boring or middle-of-the-road -- they're just more confident. TV-Resistori can still shake, rattle and roll like young stallions let out to the fields for the first time after the winter. Nevertheless, to balance the upbeat dance numbers, their tape has also captured one of the most touching bluegrass ballads of this century, "E.S.O.P.M.J.M.V.M.P.S.O. (Pallo)." Don't let the song title fool you.

LP version. "TV-Resistori's debut album came out in 2004. With their childlike melodies and cheezy synthesizer tunes names like Stereolab, Raymond Scott and Mouse On Mars might pop up."

This is the second full-length release by TV-Resistori for the Fonal label, originally released in 2006. With their childlike melodies and cheesy synthesizer tunes, comparisons with Stereolab, Raymond Scott, and Mouse On Mars might pop up. Yrjö's and Päivi's male/female vocal duets are definitely at the center of the songs, and with the apt engineering skills of the drummer Aleksi, they have truly found their own sound.
