In Cinema

In Cinema is the brilliant and eagerly-anticipated new album from Finnish supergroup Oddarang. Regulated by drummer/composer Olavi Louhivuori's clear approach to composition and arrangement, in Cinema is a remarkable achievement and a landmark recording for the group. The title in Cinema provides a clue to the sometimes dark and edgy sound of this work - originally written for four independent films and later developed for this album the sound-scapes are uncompromising, contrasting emotive melodies that reach deep and touch the listener on a very personal level with intense dynamic pick ups built on guitar riffs and uplifting soaring melodies carried by Cello & trombone and underpinned by staunch bass playing. The post modern influence of bands such as Mogwai and Sigur Ros are evident for sure, but the sound here is the pure genius of Oddarang.
