Kärki, Kimi: The Bone of My Bones

Kimi Kärki is apparently a Finnish cultural historian, guitar player and singer-songwriter. He is known for his guitar playing and sombre compositions for Reverend Bizarre, Lord Vicar, Orne, E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr, and, most recently, Uhrijuhla (check them out, they're excellent), Kärki has developed his recognizable playing style within doom metal, progressive, folk, and electric ambient scenes and The Bone of My Bones is most certainly eclectic yet in places ("Archipelago") highly uplifting. Ideal for relaxing but never veering into the middle of the road, this is a lovely album that deserves the sometimes dreaded epithet ethereal. In some ways this is a brave release by Svart records and Kimi Kärki himself as it is the sound of someone baring their soul with minimal studio interference and so very different from his normal image.
