I bicycled to PihkaSound to rehearse a song with the Unzyme producer Lasse Turunen. I was just about to get back home, when I noticed that my bike had a flat tire. I decided to walk back home and shoot some video footage on the way back. Most of the time I was on the … Read more

This song is about wanting to be something else than the majority, but still conforming to outside expectations, because the fear of getting rejected is too strong. It’s about knowing your true self, but keeping it a secret. It takes loads of courage to declare your independence and to live the way you want to. … Read more
We’ve been hard at work, editing a music video for a brand new song called Dust on the shelves.

As it happens, the song … Read more
