North Star Boogie
Monday, 24 March 2008 20:01
A dynamic duet set to foot-tapping Finnish rock and pop grooves ranging from the stirring to the eccentric, North Star Boogie alternates between contemporary urban beats and echoes of Nordic melancholy from decades past.
"The music of Finnish rock icon Rauli "Badding" Somerjoki transports the piece into an atmosphere reminiscent of the films of the Kaurismäki brothers."
