Business as usual, I guess? Everyone's going on about how the new Burning Hearts 's album is finally here and ignorant me has little clue about what's happening. So of course my first reaction is: WHAT! Is this something we've been waiting for? Then I check the archives, wind back the clock three years and suddenly remember that I actually enjoyed the debut album Aboa Sleeping immensely . And now that I've listened to Extinctions a few [...]
jessika rapo y henry ojala se conocen desde críos. viviendo en pueblos vecinos y enamorados de la música, es inevitable que se terminaran encontrando, aunque sus caminos se distanciaran al formar parte de grupos afines pero diferentes; le futur pompiste , ella, y cats on fire , él. pero, en 2004, cuando las dos bandas se embarcaron en una gira conjunta por suecia, rapo y ojala supieron que tenían que hacer algo juntos. ese "algo" es burning hearts , dúo finlandés de exquisito indie-synth-pop vaporoso cuyo primer [...]
Perhaps being forced by your housemate to listen to Enya unironically for the past three months makes a person susceptible to the voice and melodies of Burning Hearts singer, Jessika Rapo. A Finnish duo turned four-piece, Rapo merges her dulcet voice with the arrhythmiatic key signature changes from drummer, Henry Ojala. "Burn Burn Burn" opens with haunting scarcity, a sparse arrangement and
In 2009, we were exposed to some terrific music from lots of new, promising bands. As a whole, the year went very well with albums from Animal Collective , Phoenix , Porcupine Tree , Engineers , and Camera Obscura which littered most year-end lists. On top of that though, we were blessed with some gems that didn't have as much acclaim as I would hope. One of those acts was a quiet, secluded band from Finland named Burning Hearts . The band is made up of the lovely, talented Jessika Rapo and [...]

I don't know about where you are, but we are having a very mild winter. Not so mild that I should have been eating at outdoor burger joint Shake Shack last night, but I was and is where I snapped the picture that is now this week's cover art. There's lots of good new music on here, including the returns of a few favorite bands. Dig in: DOWNLOAD WINTRY MIX 2.03.2012 Tracklist: 1. Burning Hearts - Into the Wilderness [...]

"Their second full-length album, "Extinctions", will be released in February 21st, 2012. If the debut was a collection of early songs that were not intended to end up on an album, "Extinctions" was written as a consequence of many tragic stories that touched the band. Most of the songs are dedicated to persons or creatures that no longer exist . Finnish indie pop stalwarts Jessika Rapo (vocalist for Le Futur Pompiste) and Henry Ojala (ex-drummer for Cats on Fire) teamed up to form the shambly, synthy duo Burning Hearts in 2006. Burning Hearts' debut full-length, Aboa Sleeping, [...]

Tweet It's been nearly a year since Listen Before You Buy 's dream-pop darlings Silver Swans put out their " Secrets " EP. In September they gave us the sweet remix of Burning Hearts' " Into The Wilderness " as a reminder that they are still playing the fantastic music that has made them so easy to love but also still having their hands creating incredible music even if it's not a song of their own. A [...]

das rührige label shelflife records aus portland bzw. san francisco steht fest in der tradition von sarah records oder factory. wir werfen leider nur gelegentlich einen blick hinüber und haben so zuletzt einiges verpasst. was nachzuholen gilt. in aller kürze mit musikalischer würze und dem versprechen, wieder etwas kontinuierlicher am ball zu bleiben. denn auch die nahe zukunft verspricht einiges auf shelflife. ist ja nicht so, dass ich mich dagegen gewehrt hätte, aber eine band aus russland ist mir bisher wohl nicht untergekommen. mit [...]
Two duos that are literally worlds apart. But they find their way together in this remix bringing the musical sensibilities and love for airy pop. The original by Burning Hearts was a shimmery track that recalled the Finnish landscapes. Bringing that world of fresh air and relaxing sounds of the waves crashing onto the shore. [...]
July provided us with a massive compilation, boasting 18 tracks that span over an hour. As expected with a compilation of that length, there are plenty of interesting stylistic pursuits inside. The Stepkids nod to the '70s by tackling a genius fusion of soul and psych-rock, while the '80s make an appearance with several artists [...]

Australia's Boy & Bear are prepping us for their August release of their debut album, 'Moonfire', by sharing another beautiful track from the album. "Milk and Sticks" does a few odd change ups throughout its 4 and 1/2 minute stretch that its almost like listening to three different songs. The band has also shared their video and single, " Feeding Line " which will appear on the album.
Ceremony, Burning Hearts, and Memory Tapes are three different artists with very different sounds. Their influences certainly intersect though, allowing the material to sound like creative odes rather than blend replications of genres and movements that are now in the past. They encompass a wide range of styles - from glam-inspired post-punk to flamboyant dance-pop - and remain interesting in the process.
