I was travelling again (I tend to travel a fair bit) and found myself walking for a few hours in Hämeenlinna, Finland for no particular reason. It’s a pretty little town with a cute castle, well worth the visit. And then shortly afterwards I stumbled upon Mirror Hands, a post-punk band from that very place. It sounds how I imagined post-punk to sound like in Finland, where the sun set before 5pm in October: dark, slightly monotonous and very black-and-white. I like it. And I love Finnish accents. Well worth the listen.
