Kinsky - Lumilinna

Review by Chloë Thomas

Kinsky's album Lumilinna is a captivating and ethereal musical journey that transports listeners to a dreamlike world of enchantment and wonder. The album's name, which translates to "Ice Castle" in English, is a fitting title for the atmospheric and otherworldly soundscapes that Kinsky creates.

From the opening track "Aamuaurinko" to the closing song "Kuutamo," Lumilinna is a seamless and cohesive collection of songs that blend together seamlessly. Kinsky's use of traditional Finnish instruments such as the kantele and the jouhikko adds an authentic and unique touch to the album's sound.

The album's standout track is undoubtedly "Jääprinsessa," which features haunting vocals and a mesmerizing melody that is both beautiful and eerie. Other notable tracks include "Laulu Lumelle" and "Pimeän Tanssi," which showcase Kinsky's ability to create atmospheric and cinematic music that is both emotional and evocative.
