Janne Westerlund – Talvikaravaani CD

Janne Westerlund – Talvikaravaani CD  "Janne Westerlund is a familiar man in many ways. Circle is always mentioned, of course, but the brilliant Pharaoh Overlord and Plain Ride are also worth mentioning when listing the artist's extensive merits. In his solo production, Westerlund has followed the path of a more folk sound, and the 2012 Oran solo album has served as a kind of guideline for later recordings.Sound-wise, Talvikaravaani continues along the lines of its predecessors, with mainly acoustic and folky sounds occasionally receiving electronic support. Of course, those images should not be left too beautiful, as the artist has always strived for hard realism in his texts, which is coloured by dreamlike, perhaps even visionary, flashes and scenes. East, West, North, South – these words have rarely had any real weight in Westerlund's music, or at least no power that draws hard boundaries.So the winter caravan runs close to the tracks of its predecessors, but something has changed.
