Kari Ikonen Trio - Wind, Frost & Radiation

After stints in afro pop, pianist Kari Ikonen's Finnish background has now drawn him to the wintertime. Spaces of biting cold and horror, of inhumanity and transience - these are the fundamentals of the Ikonen Trio's third studio album.Limited edition 180 gram audiophile vinyl, gatefold cover, pure analogue sound, high end vinyl mastering and download code included (with bonus tracks). The band visit ghost towns, disassemble famous waltz motives and enter wondrous shadow world. Into their fifth year, the depth of the trio's commitment to extremes remains remarkable. Kari Ikonen is not afraid of the light. His 'ultra-positive' afro-pop-jazz project Trio Toffa is living proof of that. Lately, however, his Finnish background seems to have drawn him the darker moods of the soul. 'Wind Frost & Radiation' is a search for his roots, a quest for the Nordic qualities in music.
