Shakali - Metsä henkii (2024, 7” / digital)

“Metsä henkii” is new ep by finish artist Simo Hakalisto. Hakalisto is based in Brno, Czechia and he is also known for his work with musical duo's Thistle (check out their album Teleopsia, out on STD) and Gnäw. His solo music under the moniker Shakali, and especially on this ep, lands on a very sweet spot between solstice electronics, new age and exotica. The beat that drives most of this ep was played and recorded on the old tanker Simo found in the Czech countryside. Its hypnotic pulse slowly drowns you in the current that mouths somewhere in the underwater realm where the ambience is composed mainly of Ima Sumac b-cuts played on 20 rpm or slower. If you like this and can't get enough of this, we highly recommend to check out Shakali's previous outings on Ikuisuus or Good Morning Tapes.
