Description

Two live documentations of Avarus, recorded at two legendary festivals.

Side A is a live recording from Avanto fest in Helsinki 2007, close to the peak of their caveman “rock” era, road-tested on several extensive tours in Europe and USA. After a lengthy vocal/electronics intro, the band chases the ghost of early Ash Ra Tempel down the hillside and inevitably off the cliff, in a Wile E. Coyote style. Ideas, both good and bad, are thrown around with almost reckless abandon.

Side B takes us to Höstfest in Jyväskylä 2014. The set took place on the cozy and chilly outdoor stage on a crisp autumn evening. This time the sound represents the later, more mellow and electronic phase of beer trance. There is no sense of hurry, just a group of friends enjoying the sound. The lineup is slightly extended, with Antti Tolvi and Jussi Karsikas on keyboards.

The whole thing is crowned by the eye-popping artwork by the one and only Tommi Musturi.
