Kemialliset Ystavat- Lumottu Karkkipurkki (The Enchanted Candy Jar)


One of the best art stores in Melbourne is slowly closing down its music wing. The music section of Metropolis, run by Oren Ambarchi, is having a 40% closing down sale and anyway I bought the last Kemialliset Ystavat release they had there.

Based on a children’s book of the same name (‘the enchanted candy jar’), the story is essentially an Alice in Wonderland-esque fable. A young boy purchases a magic candy jar and each consumption takes him to altered worlds of monsters and wood folk. Sounds kind of familiar? The music fits well within this pretence and feels very much like an accompaniment. Thats not saying that its only worthy of ones full attention. A garnish to your future day.
