Notes

Antti Reikko and Koria Kitten Riot
Helsinki, Finland musician Antti Reikko has just released his debut album as Koria Kitten Riot. The band released their self-titled album in October of last year, but the album has yet to get any blog love. Reikko is best known as the lead singer of Johnny Superhero. He also writes and performs music on his own. This new project is a perfect fit for the Finnish folk scene.

The Laughing Man

Forget all the gloomy pop tunes dominated by EDM and Hip Hop and listen to the folk rock of Koria Kitten Riot. They've just released a new album, "The Laughing Man," that is filled with whimsical melodies and hopeful harmonies. The Laughing Man by Koria Kitten Riot is the perfect blend of lyricism and pop music, combining elements of 60s rock, psychedelic rock, and kitarapop.

Rich Men Poor Men Good Men

The second album from Koria Kitten Riot, Richmen Poor Man Good Men, is an unexpected delight. This Finnish quintet's debut album is a mix of pop, indie, and alt-country. Fronted by Antti Reikko, the band's debut full-length is a fun listen. The band has earned a devoted fan base with its sweet and sarcastic songwriting.

The band has a unique approach to indie-pop. Fronted by Antti Reikko, the group is influenced by bands like Wilco, Elliott Smith, and The Flaming Lips. The band recorded the album in Berlin, with Doug Van Sloan handling the mastering. They've also been hailed as a promising newcomer to the genre.

Songs of Hope and Science

The lyrics of "Songs of Hope and Science" are uplifting and catchy, but there's no hope in sight. The album is comprised of four songs, each containing a different message about human frailty. The album's psychedelic elements are offset by its harmony. Though the lyrical content is occasionally melancholic, the album's themes are positive and encouraging.
