theexplodingogre Already a respected metal artist, Kimi Kärki's sonorous voice suits the moody folk of this album particularly well. This is an album of beautiful acoustic guitar parts, a voice, a female harmony, and the occasional sound of distant electric guiltar. Favorite track: My Name Is Free.

Colin M. An astonishingly emotive collection of deep, resonant folk. Kimi Kärki proves once again just how versatile a talent he truly is. Favorite track: My Name Is Free.

𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡-𝔮𝔲𝔦𝔢𝔱-𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡 𝓣he frore and hallowed ashes of Reverend Bizarre were fertile in phoenixes given forth, but Kimi Kärki's 12-string, acoustic folk chronicles aspire to a rare echelon and duly nail the ascent. Favorite track: My Name Is Free.

about

Kimi Kärki is a Finnish cultural historian, guitar player and singer-songwriter. Known for his versatile guitar playing and sombre compositions for Reverend Bizarre, Lord Vicar, Orne, E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr, and, most recently, Uhrijuhla, Kärki has developed his recognisable playing style within doom metal, progressive, folk, and electric ambient scenes. This variety of mostly underground styles reflects the open and intuitive approach to music, which is in the very heart of Kärki's craft.

The Bone of My Bones is Kärki's first 'solo' album, focused on folk music. The stories told on this record are simultaneously deeply personal and universal, sometimes based on his dreams, sometimes on the literary sources which struck a chord. To maximise the listening pleasure, Kärki decided to invite some friends to contribute guest vocals. Mat McNerney is best known as the mastermind behind Hexvessel, and John Richardson is a veteran musician, nowadays the Professor of Musicology at University of Turku. Stunning female vocals were provided by two talented musicians from Turku area, Anna-Elena Pääkkölä, and Pirita Känkänen. The last piece in the puzzle was the collaboration with Joona Lukala. This experienced audio wizard helped Kärki to realise The Bone of My Bones as rich and ambitious an aural experience as you now are able to hear yourself.
