NEØV

In Juankoski, the nights are either long or very, very short. Right here in the middle of Finland’s vastness, surrounded by a thousand lakes and impenetrable woods, life has an altogether different rhythm. NEØV pick it up, add their heartbeat and carve pure music out of it. Music that bears the magic of Finnish nature and yet resonates with the pulse in the rest of the world. This unique melange makes NEØV one of the most exciting Indie Pop discoveries Finland has to offer. After recording ‘Volant’ all by themselves in Finland, brothers Anssi and Samuli Neuvonen found themselves leaving the land of the thousand lakes for vibrant harbor metropolis Hamburg to record their second album. ‘Picture of a Good Life’ comes as a versatile, furious, ecstatic bang of an album after the meditative and introspective brooding that was ‘Volant’. “All of us are surrounded by pictures of good lives, and we constantly present pictures of our own lives. But are we really living our lives or are we presenting ourselves in a picture of how we wish our lives to be?,” Neuvonen asks.
