about
Bursting into the spotlight with undeniable presence, Kaksipäinen Koira is recognized as one of Finland's most captivating new indie rock bands. They're set to enchant their fans with the release of "Hologrammi" on Valentine's Day, February 14. Departing from their debut single, which subtly hinted at late 70's Finnish punk echoes reminiscent of Eppu Normaali, "Hologrammi" unveils a more adventurous side of the band, diving into a blend of deeper blues, vibrant boogie, and an edgier rock sound. This track further cements their emerging reputation, showcasing their ability to attract international attention across music blogs and playlists with their distinctive sound.
The band's initial release saw significant success, making waves on Spotify playlists and featuring on the cover of the Finland Indie Today playlist. The mastering of "Hologrammi" comes from the twice Grammy-nominated Ryan Schwabe, emphasizing the band's dedication to producing high-quality music.
At the core of Kaksipäinen Koira are Aliisa Keränen and Tero Huotari, revered figures within the Finnish indie rock scene. Huotari is known for his pivotal role in Teksti-TV 666, and Keränen as the drummer for Bad Sauna and La La Salama, bringing a wealth of experience and creativity to the band.
Kaksipäinen Koira's music is a rich tapestry of mildly psychedelic punk and garage rock, with influences from the 80s new wave, the stark tones of gothic rock, the ethereal qualities of shoegaze, and even elements of krautrock. Their music captivates with fast-paced, sharp melodies and compelling guitars, transporting listeners with the robust power of garage rock to a transcendent state of reality.
In their live performances, Kaksipäinen Koira transforms into a formidable force, creating an immersive experience that eradicates the audience's anxiety, replacing it with a profound sense of euphoria and joy.
The band is formed by Tero Huotari on guitar/vocals and Aliisa Keränen on drums/vocals, with Otto Pekkola joining them on bass/vocals during live shows, adding another layer to their dynamic sound.
lyrics
Maailmaa muuttuu
Jäätiköt sulaa
Aivotoiminta surkastuu,
kun sademetsätkin jo palaa
Kaikki lopulta kai tuhoutuu,
tai tyhjyyteen katoaa
No Ihmiset varmasti hukkuu,
ellei joku tule meitä pois täältä hakemaan
Entä jos en koskaan täällä ollutkaan
Heijastus, pelkkä hologrammi tähtien takaa
Heijastus, pelkkä hologrammi tähtien takaa
Entä jos en koskaan täällä ollutkaan
Heijastus, pelkkä hologrammi tähtien takaa
Heijastus, pelkkä hologrammi tähtien takaa
