Henri Lindström : Tarvii leipää (2016-2026) LP (IF-102) out on September 4th.
“Tarvii leipää (2016-2026)” brings together selected works from Henri Lindström’s tape albums from last ten years, first time on vinyl. Lindström’s repeating, slightly off-kilter synthesizer patterns will make you dizzy. Check out the first single “Antennilapset.” Henri Lindström (born in 1983 in Laukaa, Finland) has left his mark on the leftfield music scene collaborating with Jaakko Eino Kalevi, Suad Khalifa and such but his solo stuff stands on its own merits as a distinctive blend of tape loops, lofi electronic beats and synth layers. Order here. Limited to 250 copies.
