22-Pistepirkko's
Big Lupu might be the most interesting experimental rock album for years. They have remained the simple and minimalistic sound but still it feels so impressive.
Big Lupu is
22-Pistepirkko's journey through rock, pop, folk, country, lo-fi, electronica, and anything possible between them. It's a logical follow-up to their two previous albums, The Kings of Hong Kong and Bare Bone Nest.
22-Pistepirkko have just remained the same concept but enlarged their sound at the same time. As the result
Big Lupu sounds a bit fragile, but a reasonable whole. Though
22-Pistepirkko have concentrated to create an ambitious sound,
Big Lupu is full of catchy choruses and hit songs. Therefore it works for both demanding rock and pop audiences. ~ Antti J. Ravelin
