Finnish multimedia artist Jan Anderz?n under his Tomutonttu guise. Keva"tjuhla is his second release for the label following a split 7" with Oneohtrix Point Never in 2010 (ALT02) and his first vinyl long player since 2011. Lately Jan has been creating installation work for which the music of Keva"tjuhla was initially composed. Inspired by the multitudes of mould and the microbial life, the installation Keva"tjuhla was built as a listening station that sought a bond between sound, the earth and organic matter. Sound was sent to speakers through cables sprouting like stems from a pile of dirt with a single coleus growing on top. A graphic score of sticks, orange peel and party debris was hung next to the installation. The score is visualised on the albums cover. Electronic and acoustic instrumentation blends together confidently and more refined than before with a minimal,razor sharp approach to production. Each track becoming an integral part of the records' trippy cut & paste narrative, leaving the listener wholly unaware when one bit ends and another begins. A confounding array of musical references such as folk, hip-hop and Yellow Magic Orchestra could be thrown up here, but with Kev?tjuhla Anderz?n has ultimately created a form of music that goes beyond genre classification and fully into the realm of 'other'
