Rat Hearts

Sometime late last century two shy youngsters came face to face with each other and the world. Mikko, a reincarnation of Elvis from Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle, and Laura, a former Slayer fan, soon discovered that they shared a similar outlook on life. Ethereal and warm, the pair of them drifted closer and closer to each other until they ended up living under one roof. Together, in a universe of their own, they found various instruments – and the musical projections onto cassette tapes achieved through these – to be one of the most natural methods of communication available to them. These are the origins of Chamellows, a band which based its activities on actively concealing its works from the audience.

"Peaceful and good-natured, occasionally extremely infectious and easy to approach [...] gradually the music began to reveal other dimensions, layers that were darker, more anxious and more difficult. Its most obvious quality is a creative passion, as well as a kind of sincere tension between the tranquillity offered by the living rooms used for the recordings and the roofs above them, and the world outside. They often escape analysis but invariably sound good, to say the least. And, deep down, this is the definition of the music of Chamellows: it is rewarding, dark, unadulterated, bloody, tender, ethereally floaty and unique.
