Idiosyncratic synth-sorceress Islaja reveals the new video "Tactile Material". The song hails from Tarrantulla, the sixth and latest album by Finnish Berlin-based artist Merja Kokkonen, aka Islaja. The album is set for international release on 1st December via Svart Records and is the artist's first major solo release since 2014's S U U. See and hear Islaja's "Tactile Material" video in the player below.
With Tarrantulla, Islaja returns as eclectic as ever. Synthpop collides with saxophone riffs and humorous lyricism ("Tactile Material"), folk melodies and flutes undergo electronic transformations ("Sadetta"), and interludes of pure, abstract sound-design frame lyrics from the epic Kalevala song tradition ("Emosein").
