Kemialliset Ystävät (pronunciation here; English translation: Chemical Friends) is an ever changing group of free form pilots who
have been sending murky audio clouds from their basement in Tampere, Finland to the people of the world since 1995. They
work in short, spooling instrumentals, building layers of simple repetitive riffs into laminal mudcakes and weaving ghosts of folk

Kemialliset Ystävät (pronunciation here; English translation: Chemical Friends) is an ever changing group of free form pilots who
have been sending murky audio clouds from their basement in Tampere, Finland to the people of the world since 1995. They
work in short, spooling instrumentals, building layers of simple repetitive riffs into laminal mudcakes and weaving ghosts of folk
song into huge tunnels of drone. They utilize a wide spectrum of moldy acoustic instruments and almost broken electronics to
create their joyful noise but the recording studio in itself might be their single most important instrument. Kemialliset Ystävät
discography includes CDs, vinyl records, cassettes and lathe cuts on Fonal, Fusetron, Beta-Lactam Ring, Lal Lal Lal, Jewelled
Antler, Celebrate Psi Phenomenom and other revolutionary labels around the world. Members of Kemialliset Ystävät are
involved with other projects such as The Anaksimandros, Avarus, Islaja, Kiila, Tomutonttu, ES and Päivänsäde.
With a vast catalogue of releases (in all manner of formats) since its inception in 1995, Kemialliset Ystävät has remained a
constantly moving enigma. Almost entirely self-taught and using a bewildering array of instruments and approaches, their sonic
arsenal includes detuned guitars, bass, traditional / vernacular instrumentation (mandolins, balalaikas, etc.) hand percussion, all
manner of electronic instruments, effects, toys and circuit-bent items, treated samples and vinyl manipulation. « hide |
