Svart Records will release the Superkingi compilation album in June. Ville Pirinen, the autocratic chairman of the Editorial Board of the masterpiece in question, president and autocrat, called the record company's hotline just before the pre-sale started and told in an agitated, even a bit commanding, tone of voice what kind of starting points this shocking compilation album was put into motion.
-"An imaginary, heartwarming moment next to the musty-smelling vinyl lot of a flea market: a domestic compilation album from the 1970s, unprecedented even for a hardened duster, catches your eye. That is, someone like Soitellaan, Top hits, Satsanga rock, Nice music, Hatrock, Kotihipat, Popmestarit or Rock Rallye 77 type of play. An imaginary name could be JYTÄPOMMI 1975.
An imaginary, heart-warming moment at home by the turntable: Savustuspönti's "jytä-Jooseppi" is, as it were, rough-recorded, agrarian forebodies sung in Finnish. A Deep Purple-type rock riff grinds, the vocalist roars like a young Danzig. The sounds, down to the hanging fuzz solo, are devilishly scaly. Viljo "Nyrkki" Nyyssönen's fierce drum fills sound like soggy potatoes being dumped from sacks into cardboard boxes. Even the country-humorous lyrics don't hurt, because musically we have the opportunity to RARE FINNISH PSYCH NUGGET PROTO HEAVY RIFF WORSHIP BOOGIE!
A similar range of experience has been realized with several real record acquisitions. There are happy coincidences here and there in uneven concoctions. Before it was possible to check "everything" on the internet, even one wild sale per cheap record bought in the amount seemed like a reasonable success rate. This collection, built from songs excavated from Warner Music's catalog, aims to offer a new, utopian opportunity to hoarders of Finnish-language jytä rock. All the songs from start to finish are GOOD MUSIC.
Condensed international acid rain from some Beatles-Hendrix-Zeppelin-Sabbath continuum filters through the frosty lichen bed into the local groundwater. A peculiar Finnish crossbreeding of musical genres grows into beautiful käkkyrös. The end result is something that contemporary magazines, at least in Suosik, Intro or Help, would have described with some mild expression in the style of FIERY JYTÄSHOKKI EXPLODES ETYK-FINLAND'S CABBAGE!", Pirinen shouts into the landline and slams the handset into the listener's ear at the end of the conversation.
The brilliant but luxurious Superkingi collection LP and CD compiled by musician-comic artist Ville Pirinen will be released on 22 June 2022. Both versions are already on sale in the Svart Records online record store and on the websites of all the highest quality record retailers around the world.
