Joensuu 1685 - Light In The Heart Of Our Town
b'
Joensuu 1685 - "Light in the Heart of Our Town" from the 2020 album ÖB on Gems Records.
\\nFormed in 2007 in Helsinki, Finland, Joensuu 1685 — a project of brothers Markus and Mikko Joensuu and non-related bassist Risto Joensuu — have been dormant for over a decade, but a 2018 reunion performance at the Flow Festival ignited the spark for them to complete an unfinished album.
\\nToday\'s featured track was inspired by "an image of a dying town," Mikko explained. “About a person in front of a gas station right at the edge of town, seeing the town and seeing oneself, what was, what is and what will be. It’s an image of the hope that runs deep in our bones…”
\\nThe long-awaited sophomore release, titled ÖB, will be released October 9th via Gems Records.
