Review by Ramírez Ochoa Yackson José

Keijo's album, The Insider of Life, is a captivating journey through a range of emotions and musical styles. The artist's distinctive voice and poetic lyrics are at the forefront of each track, accompanied by a diverse blend of instruments and electronic sounds.

From the opening track, "The Insider," Keijo sets the tone for the album with a haunting melody and introspective lyrics. As the album progresses, the listener is taken on a mesmerizing journey through tracks such as "Waves of Time," with its dreamlike quality and ethereal vocals, and "Lullaby," a tender and heartfelt ballad.

Keijo's ability to blend genres is showcased in tracks like "Life on Mars," which infuses elements of rock and electronica to create an energetic and infectious sound. Meanwhile, "Echoes of the Past" is a haunting and atmospheric instrumental that showcases Keijo's skill as a composer.

About Keijo

Based in Jyväskylä, Finland, Keijo Virtanen (1951-2022) was somewhat of a legend in the whole finnish psych scene (on the same level as - in fact the two have collaborated before). Hes been working on music for ages but his work has only been starting to get attention during the last few years. This artists music is unlike any other, it is often based in ambient and drone and incorporates weird traditional folk instruments from around the world just as much as electronic instruments& and then youve got the voice. Keijo is renowned for his throat singing skills which truly sound alien-like and fits his drones very well, giving them an even weirder feel. And when hes not throat singing and actually forming words, his strong, nasal voice makes any of his songs bizarre beyond description. His roots and influences are quite obvious (traditional world music, american appalachian folk, jazz and drone), but what he does with them makes his work extremely unique. He is sometimes joined by members of free-jazz outfit (going under the name Keijo & The Free Players) on some recordings. Also he collaborated with of , , and . Keijo died in Jyväskylä 14 July 2022.
