Ricky-Tick Big Band & Julkinen Sana release surprise "new" music!
The only pioneer of finnish bigband jazzrap "Ricky-tick "Big band & Julkinen Sana" was release on friday 23.6. three song ep on the fire. The publication comes as a surprise, because the band stopped its activities in december 2019 and according to their own information, they are not back on their decision
"Tulta Päin" has a previously unreleased track on digital platforms together from the second album raise your stakes (2015). It has previously been heard only on the vinyl edition of the album and at the group's live gigs. On the "b-side" of the digi-ep, you can find two fresh remixes: the remix of olpek's side of the fire and the remix of the other cheek from the opening track of the keep the lights on.
Why is an already done band release new (or "new") music? composer and chapel master Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen illuminates: "The bigbandjazzrap genre has not had any worse recent releases since we ended, so something had to be done about the situation."
"Furthermore, we discovered the fact that our entire catalog cannot be found on the internet. one of the tracks from the album published eight years ago was decided to only put on vinyl for some reason, which was quite unfair towards both the song and our fans. this is an attitude movement."
"The remixes of olpeki and oteisen pokse were already ordered long before the band ended in 2019, but for some reason we forgot to publish them before our own funeral. however, musa has been made to be heard!" Kari Paleface Miettinen shouts
"And the head of the fire is not old at all! in the song, we are on the edge of the gap. before the last times or possibilities. it is dark, the world is burning, but there is always hope", Tommy Lindgren adds. "the song is also a message to guys even younger than us: keep your chin up, young ones", continues Lasse Redrama Mellberg.
