Silmät sulaa (yellow)

Rajoitettu keltainen levy.

Described by Arvola as his “summer album,” Silmät sulaa (Eyes Melt) is less a pastoral escape and more a hallucinatory collage of fragmented nostalgia. Composed over two winter months in early 2024, the album unfolds like a fever dream, where memories of blissful family summer holidays collide with impressions of a burning childhood home and the harrowing yellow gleam of melting candy eyeballs.

The record arcs from the luscious ambient string motifs of Side A into a side B that spirals into a more unstable, otherworldly terrain. Utilizing a tactile arsenal of daxophone, Cocoquantus, and modular synthesis, Arvola sometimes processes these textures through reel-to-reel tape, allowing the compositions to slowly unravel and decay. It is a brilliant, uneasy study of memory refracted through a lens of modern experimentalism.
