Here's again a Finnish indie band, not from Helsinki, Oulu or Kuopio, but from Tampere. On Volcano is a four-piece band with a young woman as lead singer (great!). I didn't expect that they sound like Delay Trees's songs or Neufvoin's excellent 'Polar Song'.

After releasing an EP called 'My Sleep Was Filled With Dreams' in 2008, they just released last week their 4-tracks EP 'New Blood' you can download for free on their website. You could also listen to their four songs below. These are clearly post-rock and shoegaze genre and are on average at least 6 minutes long. Not many lyrics, but beautiful ballads, smooth melodies, sweet and gentle voice, great electric guitar and drums arrangements. I had the impression to almost hear the wind and autumn leaves falling on the grass... Better for waking up softly in the morning than before sleeping. Pleasant.
