Fact #120517

Husky Rescue is a criminally under-exposed Finnish electronic combo whose fourth LP, The Long Lost Friend, appeared only as a self-released item in 2013. Its eight haunting tracks are expanded to 24 for this superb special edition, which includes not only rare 7" releases but also an entire new album, Hypnopompic, featuring the group’s impressive new line-up. As well as shimmeringly gorgeous electro-pop songs with meltingly luscious vocals by Johanna Kalen, we get computer-synth wiz Marko Nyberg’s richly atmospheric instrumental compositions in partnership with composer Anthony Bentley. This is not just the most imaginative, but probably the most sonically sumptuous electronica album any of us will hear this year.
