Kaukolampi

Inside The Sphere

Timo Kaukolampi, frontman for Finnish electronic rock group K-X-P and tireless sonic wanderer, is releasing his second solo album on Optimo Music. Exquisitely rendered, shadowy, curiously claustrophobic and even occasionally paranoid, 'Inside The Sphere' is an album wholly deserving of its name. It is not a one-note album. For every moment where a clammy ambient space enters, a dense analogue bassline is there to fill it. Timo references devotional and choir music as an influence on this album. The paranoia and foreboding is tempered by these headier aspects. Kaukolampi mentions "empty and hollow spaces" in relation to several of the songs. Perhaps this is the very space behind the mask, where outward disguise merges with inner reality.
