"Polysomn" descends in a dreamlike atmosphere, but instead of sleepy it's energetic. Looking back now, it seems lack something, both sound and song wise", Lehdontie explains. Polysomn now cranks up the amps and floors the pedals back to My Bloody Valentine settings. With its over-10-minute-tracks, their sophomore album Ruination (2017) wondered into almost jazzy ja proggy directions, in the vein of early King Crimson. The quartet's debut offering Ujubasajuba (2014) introduced a band jamming comfortably, while still remaining a shoegazey fundament. "There are challenges in scheduling it all", Lehdontie admits, but denies that there would be hierarchies among these bands.īut autumn 2020 is dedicated to Kairon IRSE!, who released their third album Polysomn in September. Melet on the other hand plays post-rock as a part of the Horte line-up. The stoner doom band Domovoyd, which is on an indefinite hiatus, is his and Dmitry Melet's band. Niko Lehdontie is also a member in the sinister but psychedelic post-black metal outfit Oranssi Pazuzu (read more here), and the collaborative project Waste of Space Orchestra (which we covered here). "And when we started playing together, we had the band name in our sleeve already", Lehdontie grins recalling the moment Kairon IRSE! was born in 2009. Bass player and vocalist Dmitry Melet and drummer Johannes Kohal shared their love for vintage rock in its various forms, like hazy krautrock and indie bands like Radiohead and My Bloody Valentine. There Lehdontie and Luhta stumbled across two other likeminded musicians.

But during the other 51 weeks of each year there's not much to do, says Lehdontie.įortunately for this twosome, the Kaustinen institute had class rooms for rehearsing and a studio – free to use at any time of day.
The village is the home of the biggest folk music festival in the Nordics, Kaustinen Folk Music Festival, founded in 1968. The two guitarists were studying at Kaustinen, a municipality with a population of 4300 in Central Ostrobothnia. But little did Niko Lehdontie and Lasse Luhta know that one peculiar day in 2009, laughing as the other one spelled out Kairon IRSE! – a name that would soon backfire on them. What could be the most ridiculous, clichéd and pretentious name for a post-rock band? Probably millions of music nerds around the globe have entertained themselves making up faux band names while listening to music and perhaps enjoying a beer. You know the drill: they've played at the legendary Roadburn festival, their label is the underground treasury Svart Records and they share their almanac with Oranssi Pazuzu. "Polysomn" is the third album by the Finnish shoegazers with a band name that's both hard to pronounce and type: Kairon IRSE!.
