Finnish duo Lampen presents their second album "Halogen" on We Jazz
Records, September 20. Lampen is Kalle Kalima and Tatu Rönkkö. Kalle
plays guitar, Tatu plays percussions and sampler. The band makes its
home between Helsinki and Berlin, where Kalima is based. Lampen's sound
is reminiscent of the wide-screen meditations of the likes of Earth and
The Necks, but on a territory of their own. Think meditative deep
contemporary jazz drawing from way outside of the genre's borders and
landing somewhere with heightened levels of low key sonic intensity.
Ideas form in time and nothing is rushed, and when you land in the full
eruption of the duo's force, you get there surprisingly yet logically.
The band is touring around the album with dates including We Jazz
Festival in Helsinki, appearing together on the bill with The Necks.
