LYRICS:
As a shadow would...the closer you peer, the less form reveals. And as you gaze elsewhere...like it never existed.
Yet there it lurks. Drilling ever deeper.
A field of burning stubble, upon it stretched a drum of ribs. Bullet shells piled in the haunch. Spineless weeping permeates heavens.
By father's side a sordid child. Tears pounding icy skin. Endless hunger of mouths mutilated. A continent enveloped in the stench of limbs.
LYRICS:
When the mind slants and grip slips, boundless rolls the beat. Where stood a mirror, now shines a thousand fangs and teeth.
Rivers of touch frozen, foaming gold. You reach only as far as the edge allows. The other side leaves a mark, churning ceases on the other.
Now the mouths of fingertips feed on walls. Back numbed by draught. And the horizon bursts into night, raven wings revealed.
Blackened lines, all across letters. Fills the holes once of faith, hope and care.
Once you yield and suddenly the light bends awkwardly, you'll never find the way home. Never home. Caught stuck in between.
LYRICS:
Desert of the soul. Desert and oasis. The same desert we all roam in. The same we all dig gold in. A desert. Hands bound, mouth full of sand. Bleeding, waning moon
LYRICS:
Ripples by the pier at midnight. In the shade of birches they rest and eat. Grandfathers with their sons discussing, gathering loose ends, forgiving and forgetting.
Most fear resides with the heart. On a field hardy to cultivate. It is difficult to grow rye in a swamp. Generations end in decay.
To the bosom of the earth they end to recognize, futile were their struggles. Futile were celebrations. Wishes turn to sighs, lingering echoes in space. As applause fade, for now.
Hearken to the arrival of waves. In their core vibrating infinity, immense.
Korpinkorva is a four-piece audio journey through life plagued by mental disorder. Blending acoustic instrumentation, organic field recordings, sung and spoken vocals with noise and sound manipulation, it takes the listener deep into the subconscious of Utu Lautturi. Doom, anxiety and desolation merge with fragile moments of hope in an esoteric soundscape.
All along building a strong sense of communion with nature. Sounds and lyrics inspired by the ever-flowing cycle of atomic re-arrangement...the daunting, yet invigorating experience of being one with a chaotic, hostile, murdering universe...how it all binds a broken mind into wells of despair and struggle, yet invokes courage and relentlessness in the face of personal demise.
Korpinkorva is an attempt in making auditive sense of the senseless things within. It is a up-close and intimate reflective pool which hopefully reflects back when dipped deep enough into.
