The band comments:
The album was created by selecting 12 of the 15 songs in the demo phase for further development. These 12 songs were played in the studio and 10 of them followed a consistent theme. “Tiimalasi” was selected as the title song because it deals with the life cycle and most of the songs’ themes are set towards the end of the life cycle. A couple of songs did not end up on the album because their topics did not quite fit the album’s theme.
The creative phase gathered interesting collaborations, with Kaasu Gas Lipstick participating as a technician creating drum sounds, and the song “Pedon kieli” on the album was created after contact from author Janne Tulonen, who wrote the novel of the same name. Making the theme song was a new and interesting process for the band.
The recordings took place at Vikke ry’s training facilities in Vihti, and at our guitarist Tom’s FMS studio in Karkkila.
Tiimalasi is the band’s first album created with the current lineup, and we as a trio are really pleased with the end result.
