Opposition Faust so Far An exquisite combination of accordion with electric guitar and rock passages, resulting in avant-fussion-jazz-rock with experimental sounds to delight the ear; very creative!! Favorite track: Mama Come Home.

about

Soundtrack for the landscape of Koutus. Debut album of accordionist-composer Harri Kuusijärvi's avant prog project Koutus.

“In other words: unexpected, curious, striking, offbeat, rockin’, avant-garde, and fucking good. – – This trio [Koutus] is loaded for bear and willing to hunt its prey through thick and thin, tundra and freeway, jungle and library, so never get too relaxed at any point. Koutus is one of the best discs to emerge this year, regardless of category.”

Mark S. Tucker – FAME 2014
www.acousticmusic.com/fame/p09757.htm

“I have to say that I don’t think I’ve ever been completely astonished at the first listen to a CD as when I slipped in Harri Kuusijarvi Koutus’ debut Koutus – – Koutus is startling, stunning and ferocious.”
