Editorial Reviews

UK LP pressing. 2010 release, the stunning third studio album from Helsinki sensations Husky Rescue. Another unique collection of songs that's been compared to "Bambi meets David Lynch". A strikingly fresh take on Husky Rescue's charming Pop; a real transition of their sound. Ship Of Light is the follow up to the critically acclaimed Country Falls and Ghost Is Not Real. The album features the singles 'We Shall Burn Bright' and 'Sound Of Love'. Catskill. --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

Reeta-Leena Korhola's vibrato free voice haunts throughout this album of adult synth pop "like spring's sunbeam after the long, dark, sunless winter time". Fast Lane is a twinkling chiming driving song with an urgent guitar clicking away in the background. Man of Stone is mid tempo but still insistent with a haunting theramin in the background. We like.

This review is from: Ship of Light (Incl. 4 Bonus Tracks) (Audio CD)

Certainly the album has a number of decent songs, but there's something vaguely dreary about the whole affair. It almost feels like an obligation had to be met, like they were just going through the motions in order to have something to release to the public.

I suppose part of the problem is that there hasn't been a whole lot of evolution over the course of three albums. It wouldn't necessarily be a problem if it weren't for the fact that the first one, Country Falls, weren't the strongest. That album, on the whole, was professional and evocative. Ship of Light feels more contrived.

On a final note, what the hell is going on with that persistent 3-note chime in We Shall Burn Bright? What is it doing there? It doesn't sync up with anything. Is it intentional? If so, it sure sounds like a mistake. Perhaps there was some intended effect, but I'm totally missing it.
